In this episode of the Electro Swing Podcast, Offbeat is joined by Marcella Puppini - founding member of the world-renowned Puppini Sisters and a prolific performer in her own right, with a diverse catalogue of solo and collaborative work.
In a candid and wide-ranging conversation, Marcella takes us behind the scenes of the Puppini Sisters’ 20-year journey - from being signed to a major label and receiving a £1 million advance, to collaborating with Michael Bublé and performing around the world.
But she doesn’t shy away from the tougher moments either, opening up about conflicts with former members, the toll this took on her mental health, and the challenges that came with leaving their label and going independent.
We also dig into some of her other standout projects, including her 2016 collaboration with veteran rapper RA the Rugged Man - and she even hints at a possible reunion between the two.
All that and more from someone who can only be described as vintage revival royalty - Marcella Puppini!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
