Moira Craig (Special Event)

at end -->Join us on Sunday afternoon at 3:00 p.m., October 28, 2012, in the parlor of Kathie Mack?s Craftsman bungalow in Takoma Park for an afternoon with Moira Craig, one of Britain?s finest traditional singers.Moira is from East Kilbride, where her family have lived for generations. Music and singing were an intrinsic part of family life and everyone took turns singing and entertaining. They sang or played anything from the latest "pop" song, the old songs and ballads to music hall or whatever anyone fancied singing. Moira moved to London in 1983 to work as a nurse and singing has taken up most of her life outside of work since that time. She has long been recognised by club and festival goers for her superb interpretations of Scottish. Irish and English songs and ballads. A former winner of the "Sidmouth Singer of the Year" award, Moira became more widely known through her contributions to the Pastimes albums. She also has a solo album, "On Ae Bonny Day". Moira has appeared in Britain, Germany and the USA charming audiences with her clear ringing voice and wonderful repertoire both solo and as part of the well-known acapella group Craig, Morgan, Robson. She has recently put together a compilation CD (Times Past) recorded between 1970 to 2003.For reservations and directions, call Kathie Mack at 301-270-5367 or e-mail her (note that the old twizzles e-mail no longer works). By mass transit, it?s a short 3-block walk from the Takoma metro station on the Red Line.

"...vocal quality and technique... commitment to a worthwhile repertoire... identity with the texts... ability to sing the story in such a way that her audience is as fully involved in it as she is. Moira has all these things." Roy Harris "When I heard Moira I was quite bowled over, and I am virtually NEVER bowled over." Jerry Epstein except
