Margot Moir was the middle sister to Jean and Lesley Moir,
who in 1974 had a #8 hit with “Good Morning How Are You” as the Moir Sisters.
Margot also issued a solo single, “Scarlet Skies” b/w “Tightrope” in 1989, and
album, “Strong And Mighty” (NEW2009 2) for New Market Music in 1996. Two names
that popped out at me were Peter Cupples on backing vocals and Broderick Smith
on harp, also on backing vocals Margot’s husband Claude Cesario and daughter
Rae. Margot was also in big demand as a session backing vocalist, she was
handpicked by John Farnham himself for the inaugural Whispering Jack tour.
Recently she recorded and sang with the bands “Raymalane” and “Celtic Spirit. “For
over 10 years. Sadly Margot died on 26
January 2015 at age 56 at Royal Melbourne Hospital due to complications from
long term diabetes. mp3
