The Puppini Sisters

|

SOLD OUT.

Having met at Trinity College of Music Marcella Puppini, Stephanie O’Brien and Kate Mullins formed the group in September 2004 having watched, and taken inspiration from, the film Belleville Rendezvous - "we did it for a lark, to see what would happen if you updated the Andrew Sisters". Dressed with 1940's glamour The Puppini Sisters performed tongue-in-cheek versions of classics such as The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, The Smiths' Panic and Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights which led to a cult following in the coolest clubs, a management contract with the ex-managers of acts such as Cocteau Twins, The Sundays and Smashing Pumpkins and a record deal with Universal Classics and Jazz ("We think of our music as pop," says Marcella, "but the jazz crowd have enjoyed it and thought it was really clever.")

Accomplished musicians, with everything from piano through saxophone to harp on their combined CVs, The Puppini Sisters have created contemporary reinterpretations of old-time favourites including Mr Sandman and Jeepers Creepers and translated 'modern' songs like Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive and Blondie's Heart Of Glass into tight three-part harmonies of such splendour that the Andrews Sisters would quiver with joy.
