ONE of the jazz world's brightest stars will be joining the BBC Big Band for two special concerts at the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire on July 15-16.

Since launching her career in 2001, Clare's extraordinary singing and songwriting talent has won her a huge army of fans, among them veteran broadcaster Michael Parkinson.

Clare's two air tattoo concerts, on both Saturday and Sunday evening, will immediately follow the eight-hour flying display and are part of a mammoth nine-month, 50-date UK tour to promote the release of her second album, due out in September.
