The Puppini Sisters : Christmas with

This UK-based vocal trio brings three-part harmony into the modern age with a repertoire that includes everything from "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" to "I Will Survive." Inspired by the Oscar-nominated film the Triplets of Belleville (a French animated movie which features a '40s-style harmony group), The Puppini Sisters - Marcella Puppini, Kate Mullins, and Stephanie O'Brien - formed in London. Dressed in 1940's-style wardrobe, the three sing like the Andrews Sisters with inspiring harmonies. With their unique blend of retro style, pop kitsch, and crisp vocals, The Puppini Sisters have earned quite the celebrity following - from Sharon and Kelly Osbourne to Vivienne Westwood, Kate Moss and Stella McCartney to members of the Royal Family, including Prince Charles, Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall, and Prince William. Come and celebrate Christmas in style and glamour with your favorite Sisters! Revel in the glamour, rejoice in the swing and lose yourself in the harmonies.
