About Alex  photo credit: Charlotte Fielding Hello! I'm a freelance singer specialising in vintage songs from the 30's to 50's, with accordion, guitar, piano or jazz trio. Love Piaf, Trenet, Milva, Neapolitan and Classical songs. I trained at the Royal Academy of Music and I now live in London with my bassoonist husband and our two rather noisy sons. I'm booked to sing at weddings, engagement parties, launches, corporate events, dinners, the best sort of restaurants and pubs, festivals, art galleries, the Houses of Parliament, people's homes, castles, (well, for some, an Englishman's castle is his home, not the other way around!) and haystacks (they're extra.) Enjoy perusing, and if you have any questions or thoughts, or if you've found a great vintage song, please do drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you! alex@alexandracarter.com | Services Weddings chic retro music that goes perfectly with a glass of bubbly at your wedding reception, and classical songs for your ceremony celebrations, with champagne by French Bubbles & bouquets by Angie's Flowers.
