Susan is part of a new group called The Blue Belles.

They're billed as Ireland's premier vintage vocal trio.

The group consists of Susan, Kerry Ann Sheridan, and Carly Coonagh.

Lynn Hilary started a group called The Blue Belles a few years back and has several videos out. I have 1 of her videos on the forums youtube page

Maybe Sue would try a different name

The Blue Belles (featuring Susan McFadden) have been recording in the studio recently. They've teased some exciting news within the next few months.

Here's a recent sample of them singing:

They perform vintage music (think "roaring twenties" and such).

Not to be confused with The Honeydews, the group Alex Sharpe has been performing with recently. ;)

The Blue Belles released their video showcase and it's really good! I love the arrangements and those harmonies are fantastic!

Someone on Instagram asked the Blue Belles should tour and they replied to "stay tuned."

I'd have to imagine any tour would be a small tour in Ireland and the UK (maybe elsewhere in Europe), but I suppose there's a sliver of hope they'd do a show in North America.

A few days ago, on one of their videos posts, they teased there were more public dates to see them live coming soon!

I'm sure those of us who will be in Ireland around the time of the Celtic Woman PBS special recording and Éabha Celtic World Forum are hoping the timing and locations find the pigeon hole in peoples' travel itineraries.

Yes! I would love to see Susan perform with The Blue Belles if they have a date that works on our Ireland trip! 🤞
