She was nicknamed "Bell Gal" because she wore a red skull cap and garters with Christmas bells that jingled in time with her music. She was featured on the cover of Glamour magazine and written up in publications on both sides of the Atlantic. When the Preservation Hall Jazz Band began to hit the road, she took it on international tours. Barrett toured in the United States as well, including a stint at Disneyland in 1963. During 1964, Sweet Emma Barrett and her Preservation Hall Jazz Band went to the Guthrie Theater to record a live performance. The subsequent recording turned into The Preservation Hall Jazz Bands first record, Sweet Emma and Her Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
