Close harmonies, corsets and clever covers. Fabulous frocks, festival stages, platinum records and famous fans from Michael Bublé and Cyndi Lauper to Robbie Williams, and even King Charles. For two decades, The Puppini Sisters have brought vintage glamour and
vocal fireworks to audiences around the world.
Now, in celebration of 2026 marking 20 years since their debut album, the group have unveiled full details of a brand new record,
vocal fireworks to audiences around the world.
Now, in celebration of 2026 marking 20 years since their debut album, the group have unveiled full details of a brand new record,
‘The Birthday Party’, out 27th March, plus a celebratory UK tour — The Birthday Tour — taking place in May.
To celebrate turning 20, The Puppini Sisters have some surprises up their elegant sleeves.
Leader Marcella Puppini and original band member Kate Mullins have reunited with Rosanna Schura, a very early Puppini Sister who returned briefly in 2016. They will also tour with the same outstanding line-up featured on the album: Martin Kolarides on guitar, Henrik
Jensen on double bass, and Peter Ibbetson on drums.
The trio will release their seventh studio album next year ‘The Birthday Party’, comprising of original material and covers they have been saving up for the occasion. They have also released the first single from the album, a cover of ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’
, described by Marcella as “camp as hell!” “From day one, we’ve kept a list of songs we’d like to record, but weren’t sure if we could,
”says Marcella.
“Some have worked fantastically. Others have been epic failures. People assume we can turn any hit into a Puppinis song, but that’s not the case.
”Aptly, The Puppini Sisters have reinvented ‘Happy Birthday’
“This album is our party,” says Marcella.

“This album is our party,” says Marcella.
“We had to toast ourselves. Our version opens with the waltz,
then launches into country-swing and briefly references Stevie Wonder and 50 Cent. It’s a fun pastiche.”
Among the jazz standards tackled are ‘Take The A Train’, ‘Honeysuckle Rose’ and ‘Take Five’ “Take Five is a funny one because I’m not a fan of the song, although I love our version, ”says Marcella.
“It’s the best-selling jazz song of all time, so the challenge was to make a version that we would enjoy. ”
From the 1970s comes the Italian and French favourite ‘Parole Parole’
, which The Puppini Sisters have performed on tour, but never recorded.
Not all spectacular covers, the album features original music too.
‘Hey Sister’ is a jaunty self-celebration, while ‘Postcards From The Road’, which Marcella and Kate co-wrote, is packed with tales from their two decades on the road.
“The song is snippets of where we’ve been and what we’ve seen,
” says Marcella. “It starts with looking cool in Istanbul and sipping on a Moscow Mule. In Berlin, I drank all the gin. It’s all true.”
Bologna-born Marcella formed the trio at London’s Trinity College

Bologna-born Marcella formed the trio at London’s Trinity College
of Music in 2004, and by the following year they were signed.
Their debut, ‘Betcha Bottom Dollar’ , saw their sassy, swing rearrangements transform songs from all eras – ‘Mr Sandman’,
‘Jeepers Creepers’ and ‘Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy’ (from Company B) sat alongside Blondie’s ‘Heart of Glass’, Kate Bush’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ and ‘Panic’ by The Smiths.
The Puppini Sisters have toured the world ever since, spawning a new scene and watching
as mainstream pop embraced their burlesque-inspired aesthetic.
The Puppini Sisters’ retro-glam look came initially from Vivienne Westwood, where Marcella
used to work, and east London’s underground club scene.
“That ‘50s pin-up look was popular with people on the burlesque scene, like Paloma Faith,
which we were part of, ” says Marcella.
“Plus, I was still getting lots of freebies from Vivienne Westwood.
The Puppini Sisters flourished in two worlds at once – the club scene and the mainstream.
Over the years, they’ve seen the distance between them diminish.
“Those two extremes aren’t so different these days, ” says Marcella. “Festivals have got
posher, artier, more theatrical. Meanwhile, burlesque is everywhere. So many big pop stars
have gone showgirl, from Christina Aguilera years ago to Taylor Swift today.”
The band who have been called both swing punks and the Spice Girls of jazz simply stay
themselves.
“We’ve never given a hoot about trends, ” says Marcella. our own decisions and making

to get hold of those ‘40s and ‘50s styles. Now, there are online stores churning them out cheap and specialist places where you can buy the originals for silly money. We could see vintage booming, but even I can’t believe how big it’s become.”
Casting their minds back to highlights of their career has been a blast. “Meeting Prince Charles when we did the Royal Variety Show. He was with Camilla for the line-up.

We shook hands, he moved on then came back when he realised who we were. He said,
‘Oh, it’s you! Somebody gave me your CD and I think it’s splendid” “Working with Michael Bublé was great. We went to L.A. to record with him. When we got there, he said he’d been jogging to our Christmas album. He’s a random man, very funny.”
With their trademark wit, glamour, and dazzling three-part harmonies, The Puppini Sisters
continue to reinvent the golden age of swing for modern audiences. From intimate cabaret
clubs to the world’s biggest stages, they remain unmatched in their ability to blend nostalgia
with fresh invention.
As they raise a glass to two decades of music, ‘The Birthday Party’ , and The Birthday Tour
promises to be a glittering celebration of everything that makes The Puppini Sisters a truly
timeless act.
