Composer, Score Co-Producer, Performer: Pianos
The incomparable Kay Clarke (sister of fashion designer Ossie Clark and featured here in “Pub Source #2”) - was a seasoned nightclub singer in London and knew the Kray twins personally through her work. Joe Burns was her accompanist on piano. For many years, she’d hold court and tell her stories at the Kamen kitchen table and she is a missed friend of the family.
