You can't spend time with Clarence Adoo and fail to be touched, inspired and impressed by him.

On top of losing his career as one of the UK's top trumpeters in a car crash in his mid 30s, Clarence's doctors offered no promises of any improvement and a loophole in the insurance policy meant he did not qualify for a payout despite being paralysed from the neck down.
