Clare reading Donal O’Leary’s ‘The Bamboo Tree’ at Elizabeth Finn Care’s Christmas concert this week

Imagine reading in front of 500 people. Scary.
Imagine doing it immediately after James Fox, Kate Adie, David Astor and Joanna Lumley.
That’s what Clare did this week at the Elizabeth Finn Care Christmas Concert in London. I think I was more nervous than her.
As it happens, she was great and the piece she read – The Bamboo Tree – by Donal O’Leary was beautiful; a real breath of fresh air into the traditional Christmas stories.
Afterwards, she met the celebs and was introduced to HRH The Duchess of Gloucester. The choir and the soloists were sublime – the true sound of Christmas as we remember it.
