The Webb Sisters - Daylight Crossing

At such events, they'd play jazz, classical and folk. Sometimes, if requested, they would perform the songs of The Carpenters, and often with a prodigious flare that belied their youth. Twice they played for Princess Anne, and once for the Queen. They'd do charitable functions to raise money for disabled children, and would grace end-of-year bashes in la-di-da halls at Cambridge University. They were much in demand and, says Charley, "we met lots of musicians on the circuit. All kinds of people."

One of them was a producer called Johnny Pierce, who later invited them to Nashville to write and record what would become their debut album, Piece of Mind. This was six years ago, Charley fresh out of university (where she was studying Film), Hattie having just completed her A levels. They spent six months in the US home of country music, relishing their first experiences in the studio. From here, they gravitated on to California, where they would play and live in and around LA, selling the album from gig to gig.
