The Beverley Sisters on the cover of the CD Very Best of the Beverley Sisters

The Beverley Sisters are a British female vocal trio, extremely popular during the 1950s and 1960s.

The trio consisted of eldest sister Joy and the twins, "Teddie" and "Babs". Their style was loosely modelled on that of the Andrews Sisters. Their hits included "Sisters", "I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus" and "Drummer Boy". They were the first UK female group to break into the US top 10. They are widely credited as being the highest paid female entertainers in the UK for more than a twenty year period.

Joy married Billy Wright who was the first footballer to play for England 100 times.

The Sisters entered the Guinness Book Of Records in 2002 as the World's longest surviving vocal group without a change in the line up. They continue to appear in concerts and matinee shows in the United Kingdom, and have forged strong links with the Burma Star association, and McCarthey & Stone properties where the Sisters are invited to open each new housing development designed specifically for retired people.

In the 2006 New Year Honours list they were each awarded an MBE.
