Maggie Reilly has had a varied career that
stretches back over thirty years. She first came to prominence with the
Scottish band Cado Belle releasing a well respected album and EP while
fronting the band From here Maggie went on to find herself in demand as a
session singer working with artists such as Morrissey Mullen, Hamish Stuart
and Kokomo.
Her next career move was perhaps to be the one many people remember her for.
Having heard her sing Mike Oldfield invited Maggie to join his band for his
1980 tour. Following this tour Maggie sang on the album QE2 and subsequently
joined Oldfield's band full time singing on the albums Five Miles Out and
Crises and the hit singles Moonlight Shadow and To France from the album
Discovery.
Following a short break in order to concentrate on her family Maggie
continued to work as a solo artist and also work with many other artists on
a number of varied projects including legends like Jack Bruce, Dave Gilmour
and Nick Mason (of Pink Floyd fame), Mike Batt, George Harrison and Andrew
Eldridge's Sisters Of Mercy. |
