The Webb Sisters are a musical duo comprised of the siblings Charley and Hattie Webb. They are based mostly in the United Kingdom.

Biography
Charley Webb (born 1979) and Hattie Webb (born 1981) were born in Kent,UK, to a hairdresser father and a tennis coach mother. They also have two brothers, who are also drummers. According to Charley, music often blared from all of the house. [1] Although Charley became briefly interested with being an ambulance driver, the sisters had early on decided on a career in music. Hattie played the harp, and Charley the piano.

When they were teenagers, the pair began to give recitals all over the country, and played at, among others, charity functions, end-of-year parties, and played twice for Princess Anne and once for the Queen of England. [2]

They met Johnny Pierce, a record producer who invited to Nashville, where they recorded their debut album, A Piece of Mind. After six months, they went to California, selling the album between performances at various recitals. They were soon found and offered a publishing deal, and shortly after, a record deal, and they began to create an album, Daylight Crossing. Two years later they returned to the UK, where they were discovered by Mercury Records, and they recorded Daylight Crossing. The album was released in June 2006. [3]

In May 2007 they represented Britain, playing at Americas 400th Anniversary Celebrations in Jamestown Virginia, aired on NBC. They have recently collaborated with Angelo Petraglia (Kings of Leon) and Nashville's own Craig Wiseman and are currently writing and recording new material.

Good heavens. MORE stunning beauty surrounding Leonard. I hope everyone is going to be on board from the onset. I'd sure hate to miss anyone.

Ah! Here it is... so. IS it too much to hope for, for a harp to show up onstage, along with a violin?

I do.
That's probably why I've never heard of them.
But you obviously have all of their CDs?

Hey, William -
listen to "Daylight Crossing" ... wonderful.
I live just over the border from their home in Kent, UK. The light is lenthening and the sun strengthening here.
I think that the Webb Sisters are a very creative choice and I anticipate amazement.
Everything changes; nothing stays the same ... All bests to their enjoyment and grace in the band ...
