About The Toodle Pips
Three voices, one close-harmony sound, and a love of making every room feel a little more fabulous.
Who we are
The Toodle Pips are a South Wales close-harmony vocal trio performing across the UK. We sing vintage favourites, modern songs with a retro twist and feel-good sets designed for weddings, parties, festivals, venues, community events and care settings.
We love the polish of classic harmony singing, but we never want it to feel stiff. The aim is always the same: beautiful vocals, plenty of personality and a set that feels right for the people in front of us.
Meet the Pips
Adele
Dellie is the founder of The Toodle Pips and has been singing, acting and causing musical mischief since she was a little tot.
With training in musical theatre, classical singing and performing arts, she’s performed leading roles like Calamity Jane and Miss Hannigan, voiced radio plays for the BBC and sung at the Brecon Jazz Festival alongside Soweto Kinch. She also sang for the President of Poland as part of European Day celebrations in Bytom, Poland.
One of her quirkiest roles was for BBC Atlantis where she performed the ancient art of ululating. Don’t know what that is? Google it for a giggle.
Alongside the trio, Adele writes music, loves a good vintage find. She works in marketing for a national charity supporting people affected by addiction.
Her musical heart belongs to Doris Day… like Dellie she has a soft spot for a bit of drama!
Favourite biccy? Choccy bourbon.
Random fact? Her own wedding was filmed by the BBC for a documentary called Barking Mad.
Bee
Bee has been singing for as long as she can remember, and after studying Music at Goldsmiths, University of London, she stepped straight into the wonderfully fast-paced world of session singing and songwriting.
Alongside The Toodle Pips, she runs a solo career, recording vocals and writing songs for television and media. You’ve probably heard her without realising… that’s her voice on the PlayOJO advert, and she’s also featured on projects like The Traitors USA, Diary of a Future President and more. A proper pinch-me moment was singing as a soloist for the Royal Family at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee at Windsor Castle.
Bee also writes original music (including for The Toodle Pips), and is Community Support, Co-design and Accessibility Lead for Soundabout.
Her musical heart belongs to Nina Simone, though Doris Day, The Drifters and even Blink-182 all get a look in.
Favourite biccy? Anything with cream in the middle.
Unexpected fact? She walked down the aisle to the Jurassic Park theme.
Kath
Kath’s love of singing started early, performing in her local church choir and panto group before finding her feet on stage through ballet and musical theatre with groups such as WAWWA and GCT.
She’s spent years performing across different shows and settings, always coming back to what she loves most… singing songs people actually feel. She also spent five years working in a care home, where music became part of everyday life: leading singalongs, sharing songs, and seeing first-hand how the right music can bring back memories, lift a room and get everyone joining in.
Alongside The Toodle Pips, Kath works as a teaching assistant and continues to perform, bringing that same warmth and calm into everything she does.
Her musical heart belongs to a wide range of artists from The Carpenters and A1 to Jimmy Eat World, Gavin DeGraw and Def Leppard. One of her favourites to sing is Heart of Stone from Six.
Favourite biccy? Chocolate digestive.
Unexpected fact? She can do the cup song like Anna Kendrick.
How it all started
The idea began with one song: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. Adele wanted to build the kind of close-harmony act that could feel nostalgic without being stuck in the past.
That meant finding voices that blended beautifully, but also personalities that clicked off-stage too.
When the right three voices came together, the sound clicked quickly. The harmonies felt natural, the performance style started to take shape, and The Toodle Pips became more than a one-off idea.
Since then, the repertoire has grown from vintage favourites into modern songs with a retro twist, with a new electro swing direction launching in January 2027.
In the first year alone, The Toodle Pips performed more than 60 times across pubs, care homes, festivals, birthday parties, VE Day events, Remembrance Sunday, Christmas celebrations and milestone birthdays.
That mix still sums the act up nicely: polished enough for a stage, warm enough for a care home, and fun enough to get a room singing along.
What we sound like now
Close harmony is still the heart of everything we do. Around that, the set keeps evolving: wartime favourites, golden oldies, modern pop reworked in our style, and a new electro-swing direction in development for 2027.
