As I did last year, I’d like to take the opportunity of wishing a happy birthday to my idol Pétula Clark.
This has been a busy year for Pet during which she has toured Australia and New Zealand, America and ended up on Saturday with a massive bilingual concert in Montreal at the Théàtre St Denis. She is heading off now for France where she is to be the special guest of “Vivement Dimanche”, a sort of French “This is your Life”, then off to Megève for a well earned rest with her family.
She has also recorded several new songs in French and English and has proudly become President of the Hastings Music Festival in her native England.
She is currently considering offers to recreate Norma Desmond (a part she played for longer than any other actress), on stage in Paris, and an another offer from Broadway...
And all this at 78 years young. I’ll have a pint of whatever you’re on Pet.
I hope you had a great day Petula.
