As The Passionettes they have appeared on many venues including The Summer Pops festival at The Big Top, Kings Dock; The Philharmonic Hall; The Liverpool Empire Theatre; The Neptune Theatre Liverpool; New Brighton Pavillion; Rhyl Pavillion; Nova Centre Prestatyn; The Olympia; Pontins and many others. They are rated as one of the best female duos in the region by audiences and contemporaries.

Their philosophy Dionne says is, "we love people and we love to entertain! What is the point of going on stage if you are not going to connect with your audience? We work hard on stage to draw the audience into our show...it would be easy to just stand on stage sing a few standard songs and throw in a couple of token dance moves but we wouldn't enjoy that. We don't feel the term "duo" really describes what we do....ours is a mini show. We put our heart and soul into each performance and tackle songs that we think other female artistes are not covering.

The girls do have a terrific on stage chemistry and presence, which Louise puts down to two things, off stage, we are great friends, and I think this spills over into our stage act (could this be why people are always asking us are we sisters?!). But as well, we do have the advantage of having been theatre trained and I think this gives us a professional edge."
