Shirlie Kemp, of Pepsi and Shirlie, has joined the D Day Darlings for a new version of Vera Lynn’s classic Second World War tune We’ll Meet Again.
The song has seen a surge in popularity in recent months, after the Queen referenced the classic lyric in her address to Britain amid the coronavirus crisis.
Since then, a new version by Vera and opera star Katherine Jenkins has been released, and now Shirlie has lent her vocals to another re-recording.
We are so excited to announce that @Shirliekemp is officially a Darling and a special new version of 'We'll Meet Again' featuring the Darlings and Shirlie is out now ?
