Katie Ashby of D-Day Darlings

Sony Music UK recently announced that The D-Day Darlings’ are the best-selling female group to come out of Britain’s Got Talent for debut week album sales. The Darlings’ debut album ‘I’ll Remember You’ recently entered the chart at number 15 the UK Official Albums Chart and founder and lead singer of The D-Day Darlings Katie Ashby couldn’t be happier.

 

“Sony decided to put their faith in us,” Katie told Andy Howells, “They are so mindful to protect what we stand for and to do it with dignity. It’s brilliant we’re so happy!”

 

Katie formed the group in 2008 with the intention of wanting to invoke the spirit of the wartime era and the beautiful, heartfelt music recorded during the period. The Darlings initially performed to older generations in care homes around her native Yorkshire as well as wartime themed festivals.

 

What a FAB performance they put at the Black Country Living Museum’s highly popular 1940s Weekend.
