The Webb Sisters - Daylight Crossing

Charley Webb is 27 years old, Hattie three years her junior. They were born in Kent to a session drummer father and a tennis coach mother and have a deep musical heritage that spans generations. On either side of the age scale, they've two brothers, and both, like their Peter Skellern- and Dave Travis Band-collaborating father before them, also make their livings as drummers. "Growing up," Charley says, "music blared from every room."

"The family house was infested with it, and Dad played everything really loudly, so much so that you often couldn't hear yourself think. We'd go on these driving holidays in the summer, and he'd make compilation tapes for the journey: everything from James Taylor to Crosby, Stills and Nash, Nick Drake to Fleetwood Mac." Their own tastes would later extend to Jeff Buckley, Sinead O'Connor, Alanis Morissette and the Indigo Girls, and so, Hattie continues, "there was no escaping the influence of music. Fortunately, we loved it." And, of course, both almost helplessly gravitated towards it.
