Burlesque band boosted by BBC2 show
June 26, 2007
Although burlesque band Adora did not win the grand final of the BBC2's talent show Let Me Entertain You, the corseted trio says that the publicity has led to an increase of bookings for the band.
Despite being beaten by a 13-year-old singer, the girls put on a stunning performance in a new range of corset costumes.
According to Herts and Essex news, the burlesque band from Bishop's Stortford enjoyed getting their costumes together.
Speaking before their final performance, Emma De Vrees said that the girls' costumes were a top priority: The 24-year-old said: "We've got them being made and then itll be our job to decorate the corsets, which come as a blank canvas.
"We'll be wearing different colours and completely different styles of corsets. The look is one of the most important things about us. These aren't the kind of things you would wear on a night out, but things you fantasise about wearing."
Despite Adora not winning the final stage of the competition, the burlesque band is enjoying some success. "We've got three corporate gigs already booked as a result of the TV show and we've had people setting up Myspace accounts just so they can send us messages," Ms De Vrees said.
