 Accordionist Sue Bennett was booked to play French music at a wedding reception at Arundel Cricket Club, West Sussex for Clare Rooke and Chris McLaren-Clarke on July 20th. Before the date, Sue was told that there would also be a pianist and disco, and one of the guests is a singer, who might like to perform a song or two. The singer turned out to be Petula Clark! An international legend of show business, Petula was the sister of the bridegroom. When Sue was playing, Petula came over and quizzed her about her decorated blue accordion and the French music being played. Petula, who is a remarkably young looking 80 year old and still working, said that she has always loved the accordion. Petula Clark (born 1932) began her hugely successful career during World War Two, and she has sold 68 million records worldwide. Also an actress and composer, Petula Clark lived in France for many years, and now lives in Switzerland. |
