Formed in 2007, Barbieshop are a Liverpool-based female a'cappella trio who specialize in delivering close-knit vocal harmonies which they deliver with cute choreography, sweet smiles and appealing attire! They perform a variety of styles; from The Andrews Sisters to the Ronettes, Kylie to Duke Ellington, the Cure to Bizet. Most of the songs are arranged by the girls which contributes to their unique style & sound.
Alongside singing at various diy homespun indie/jazz/noise-core nights, the girls also perform at burlesque evenings, theatres, art centres, corporate events, parties, weddings and very recently they premiered a composition by Simon Thorne which they sang down a lazer beam which travelled between Liverpool's two cathedrals!
