The D-Day Darlings will be appearing at the Moira Canal Festival next month as the annual event marks its 20th anniversary.

The Festival is a family event held every year on the restored section of the Ashby Canal, at the Moira Furnace Museum.

It aims to raise awareness of, and money for, the restoration, extension and maintenance of the Ashby Canal.

This year, the D-Day Darlings will be there to join in the celebrations.

The group specialise in World War II songs and were finalists in ITV's Britain's Got Talent in 2018.

Following their success on BGT, The D-Day Darlings had a hugely successful debut Album 'I'll Remember You' which charted at number 15 in the official album charts, receiving a Silver Disc award for sales of over 60,000 and becoming the best selling female group from the show.

Organisers posted online about the Festival and said: "Whether it is a Battle of Britain Memorial Fight flypast, Morris dancing, children's crafts, local bands and singers, historical re-enactment or something more unusual, there is always something to entertain the whole family at the Moira Canal Festival."

The festival is on from May 21-22, you can find more details HERE.
