The Songwriters: Maggie Reilly

14:00-16:00 Mon-Fri
Our usual
afternoon song selection is spiced with music from Maggie
Reilly.
Maggie
Reilly fronted the highly rated Scottish band Cado Belle in the
late-seventies but she came to wider notice with Mike Oldfield
in the 1980's and sang lead vocal on two international hits:
Moonlight Shadow and Family Man.
Since that
time she has pursued a solo career, and her more recent albums
have settled into a classic singer songwriter style some way
apart from the electro/pop path she followed at the turn of the
eighties.
She
released the album 'Looking Back Moving Forward' in January 2009
which revisits some of her keynote songs from a career spanning
nearly forty years.

Allister Boyd
Maggie is
raising funds for a young cancer sufferer, the late Allister
Boyd.
Since the
age of 16 Allister found reserves of energy to give lectures and
support to others in his position. His goal was to raise money
for the building of teenage hospices. It has been proven that
when these kids have a space together it gives them a 15% boost
in their condition.
Maggie is
selling an EP of acoustic songs ('Seeds') with ALL proceeds
going to his charity. More information on her website.
