Petula Clark to Amaze Audiences

Petula Clark has a career that has spanned over seven decades, with hundreds of recordings. She has received royal honors, and many number one hits across Europe and claim to a classic song that is on just about every party soundtrack.

The legend will come back to Basingstoke to catch up with The Gazette. She will reveal more about her new album and how her songs always had a deep personal connection.

She has moved on from her role entertaining the troops to just reconnecting people to their emotions in her songs. This can be seen in her new album – From Now On.

Clark has done it all and someone of her caliber could afford to take some time to herself after many years in the spotlight. However, ever since her first release at the age of nine, she has not shown any signs of slowing down.

The singer Petula Clark was born to the name Sally Olwen Clark. The name Sally is a diminutive of Sarah, which means “lady, noblewoman or princess” in Hebrew. The stage name Petula was invented by her father, which he joked was a combination of the name from two old girlfriends – Pet and Ulla.

The feminine name Petula is a Latin name taken from the word Petulare, which means “to seek,” “to go forward” or “to attack”. The name can be traced back to early Sanskrit or Tribal languages. However, the exact origin or the syllables are unknown, which gives it a mystical and sought after quality to it.
