Through the realms of television, radio and theatre,
Maggie Moone emerged as a highly-accomplished singer and versatile entertainer who was a regular guest on just about every major light entertainment TV show during the 1980's and 90's.
To name but a few:
Morecambe & Wise; Live From The Palladium; Mike Yarwood,
Des O'Connor Tonight; Live From The Piccadilly; Give Us A Clue; Blankety Blank; Jim Davidson; Max Boyce; Starburst; Summertime Special, London Night Out and many others.
However, she became best known as the resident singer of Thames TV's "Name That Tune" hosted first by
TOM O'CONNOR and then LIONEL BLAIR.
She later joined funny man RUSS ABBOT in three BBC Series when she revealed her natural flair for comedy (first noticed when she played opposite MIKE YARWOOD in a "Hart to Hart" take-off sketch during his ITV Series).
A highlight of Maggie's career was being nominated alongside
MADONNA, WHAM! and CLIFF RICHARD
by the British public as the "UK‘s Most Popular Singer"
in the 1986 TV Times' Annual Television Awards.
She recorded her own TV special for Grampian Television entitled "Maggie" which received a Scottish Television Award.
Since the age of 3, Maggie trained in tap, ballet and modern jazz dance and was a professional dancer before making her singing debut. She was discovered by mega-hit songwriters
DON BLACK and GEOFF STEPHENS after winning
"New Faces" when she received maximum possible marks
from Record Producer MICKIE MOST (the 80's Simon Cowell!).
Don and Geoff signed Maggie for the lead role of 'Pandora' on their rock concept album "Dear Anyone" released by DJM Records.
She was voted Equal-First in A SONG FOR EUROPE 1980 with a Black/Stephens'' song "Happy Everything" and in the same year was Special Guest to JOHNNIE MATHIS during his
4 week sell-out British tour which opened at the
Royal Albert Hall. Later she sang in concert in Chicago accompanied by world--famous pianist, PETER NERO.
In 1981, Maggie represented the UK with a LES REED song
in the Seoul (World) Song Festival, South Korea, and was
runner-up to USA's AL GREEN.
As PRINCIPAL BOY she has starred in more than a dozen major Pantomime Productions, and in between 1996 and 2002 she toured extensively with singer MARK RATTRAY in theatre productions: "The Magic of Bacharach" and "Musical Magic"
More recently Maggie has been a singing guest
with the BEN WATERS boogie oogie band and
David Alacey's RAT PACK in London and other cities.
In May 2018 Maggie appeared on Channel 5's TOP OF THE BOX
two hour programme highlighting the top 20 most watched
TV Shows of 1985 which included Name That Tune
which reached a whopping 16.7 million at its height.
Past recordings include rock concept album "Dear Anyone";
two cover albums, namely "I Wanna Be Loved By You" and
"The Thrill Of Love". She diversified in the 90's with dance album "Boogie Oogie Oogie". In 2006 she teamed up with ex-singing partner MO RIVERS to record the album "As Time Goes By" – a contemporary revival of nostalgic songs dating
from the first world war to second world war.

an album of original songs in Spanish.
