Marcella Puppini
Chelsea Songs

The Kings Road has had its fair share of lifetimes.
Taking a unique approach to song writing, the process of which will hold as many rewards as the final product, Marcella Puppini creates a rough-hewn tapestry of Chelsea stories set to music. Known for her work with The Puppini Sisters, Marcella performs in her latest project with the all girl ‘Forget Me Nots’ orchestra.

Through interviews and research, Marcella has gathered together stories of the Kings Road and the people who walk, shop, eat, drink and live there. For behind the rise and fall of the world’s most fashionable road, there stand ordinary people with stories more interesting than anything spilling out of a black cab.

The ‘Forget Me Nots’ is an eight-piece outfit made up of classical and left-field musicians who think a lady can make quite a racket while still retaining poise and class.

Imagine Kurt Weill in a corset, drinking Bloody Marys with Marc Almond.

Marcella Puppini studied at Central St Martins College of Art, and worked for Vivienne Westwood. Since graduating from Trinity College of Music Marcella has been involved in projects ranging from Musical Director for the Whoopee Club to performing on Carnesky's Ghost Train and touring the world with The Puppini Sisters. The ‘Forget Me Nots’ are Marcella’s latest project.
