The 10th and final weekly ‘Clap for Carers’ is to be celebrated in a Cowdenbeath street on Thursday night with a socially distant ‘street concert’.
Local singer Odette Clark plans to treat her friends, neighbours and all the residents of New Gray Park, to a third musical event which aims to highlight and praise NHS and key workers.
Odette, 44, has been singing at least 30 years, touring with cabaret stars like Joe Longthorne, Freddie Starr, Dean Park and Sydney Devine, and starring in pantomimes and with other acts worldwide.
The mother of-two is married to established guitarist Andrew, 51, who is also involved with West Fife’s Progressive Rock Festival Prog in the Park, in aid of cancer charities.
The Thursday evening ‘street concert’ for neighbours is scheduled to start at 7.30pm with a short break at 8pm to join in and show respect to the national ‘Clap for Carers’ event.
Odette said: “Living through this national pandemic and going through this lockdown, has brought together our whole street and community.
“It’s really amazing to see our neighbourhood and friends enjoy themselves and by keeping to the social distancing laid down by the government.
“We are living in tough times right now and it is so important that we should still be able to enjoy ourselves by doing something like this and seeing the smiles on our neighbours and friends faces as some of them have never ventured out the door.”
