About

Grab a martini, dig out your glad rags and get ready for 3 ravishing ladies to electrify you with their dazzling vocals.

Coming together in the vibrant city of Brighton in 2007 and gaining influence from classic trios such as The Andrews Sisters and The McGuire sisters. The Burlettes will entertain you with their delicious blend of costumes choreography and musicianship. Mixing vintage glamour with a contemporary flavour Felicity, Johanna and Kelly guarantee you an assortment of frisky fun, complex vocal arrangements and cute costumes and choreography!

This is entertainment that will whisk you back to a time when teenagers were doing the jitterbug and Uncle Sam was asking young men to enlist… bringing a collection of classic 1940’s popular tunes plus some ‘swung up’ modern pop favourites thrown in for fantastic measure.

Armed with a double bassist, drummer and keyboard player The Burlettes are multitalented professional musicians and singers whose only desire is to ensure rip roaring performances that prove to be unforgettable.

The Burlettes are all A-list professional musicians and have individually worked with the likes of Sting; Squeeze; Moloko; Barbara Dickson; Chris Holland (Jools Holland's Rhythm and Blues Band); Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits); Freddy V (Average White Band) and many more.

Venues and festivals include the world-famous 606 Jazz Club, Cafe De Paris, The Speigal Tent (Brighton Festival Fringe), The London Burlesque and corporate functions for clients such as Net-a-Porta.

So, kick your 21st century qualms to the curb for a night and join three feisty girls in remembering and celebrating all that is fabulous about our world’s wartime musical legacy.

Where are they based?

The Burlettes are Loosely based in and around London although they travel and gig all over the UK. As they are all professional musicians, it is not unusual for them to be gigging abroad too.
