KATY AND THE WILD ONES release their fabulous, feel-good Christmas charity single ‘Christmas Time Is Finally Here‘ for the Endometriosis UK Charity, out now on Flip Flop Records. 

Singer Katy Returns to the Spotlight with Powerful Story of Resilience and Hope. Watch the video below.

Once hailed as one of the UK’s most promising young voices, singer Katy was tipped to become the next big thing. At just 16, she signed with the iconic Rockfield Studios record label, collaborating with top producers and songwriters. By 19, both Atlantic Records (USA) and Sony (UK) were vying to sign her, and Fatboy Slim was lined up to remix her debut single. Her future was bright — until life took an unexpected turn. 

Despite numerous surgeries, hormone treatments, and hospital stays, Katy never gave up on her love of music. At 28, she recorded a track that became a major hit in France, featured in a national TV advert and streamed millions of times. The French audience affectionately dubbed her “La Voix” (The Voice), and it seemed a new chapter was beginning. Then came an even bigger surprise — Katy discovered she was pregnant, despite doctors telling her she would never be able to have children. 
Her daughter, Honey May, was born soon after, followed by twin boys two years later. Motherhood gave her strength and temporarily eased her symptoms. She continued to perform, write, and work as a session vocalist for high-profile artists — always staying connected to the music that defined her. 

But in recent years, the illness has returned with a vengeance. Now 44, Katy has endured a hysterectomy, multiple organ complications, and is currently awaiting surgery to remove her ovaries and repair further damage. Yet through it all, her passion and determination remain unbroken.  When Simon from The Bay City Rollers invited her to record vocals for a new Christmas charity single with an all-star band, Katy immediately said yes — and chose Endometriosis UK as the charity to benefit from the song. 

“Music has always been my lifeline,” Katy says. “I’ve lost so much to this disease, but if my story can raise awareness and help other women get the support they need, then it’s all been worth it.” 
Katy’s story is one of resilience, hope, and the healing power of music — a reminder that even in the face of pain, purpose can shine through.

Endometriosis UK comment:
“We’re delighted to support Katy on her mission to hit the Christmas charts with her incredible single. Katy, like so many others, has faced a difficult journey with her endometriosis, and it’s so empowering that this hasn’t stopped her in her tracks to achieve her goals. Endometriosis impacts 1 in 10 women and those assigned female at birth in the UK, and can have a devastating impact on all aspects of someone’s life, including their career, relationships, education as well as their physical and mental health. Despite its prevalence, not enough people have heard of endometriosis, and it’s time that changed -and what better way to raise awareness and funds than a Christmas single!
A huge thank you to Katie and everyone involved”.
