Charley’s musical journey began in earnest when she and Hattie started giving recitals across the country, performing at various events including charity functions and parties, and even for British royalty such as Princess Anne and Queen Elizabeth II. This exposure led to their discovery and subsequent signing of a publishing deal with Windswept Pacific Publishing and a record deal with Universal Records.

The Webb Sisters

The Webb Sisters’ debut album, “Piece of Mind,” was recorded in Nashville and marked the beginning of their professional recording career. They later returned to the UK and worked with Mercury Records for the release of their album “Daylight Crossing,” which was produced by Steve Lipson and Youth. The album featured musicians from The Verve and was well-received, becoming ‘Record of the Week’ and ‘Album of the Week’ at BBC Radio 2.
