Still Let Me Fly

The long-awaited arrival of a brand new bouncing* CD by Clare Summerskill!

Clare spent several months in labour with this particular little bundle of joy (and heartbreak) but finally all that pushing paid off and she now has a lovely addition to her family. Older siblings “Make It Sound Easy” and “Feels Like Coming Home” are getting on well with the new arrival and although they hope that they will always be loved more than their baby sister they recognise already that she has a fresh-faced and original quality about her.

Clare has never had children of her own and has always regarded the production of her shows and music as substitutes for this fact. If you have been affected by any of the issues in this e-mail please call our helpline on 0800waltznotschmaltz.
