Bradnorman Group: Members Posts: 142 Joined: Oct. 2011 Posted: Oct. 30 2011, 09:52 That's true. I was fortunate enough to exchange a few emails with her early this year. She seems really nice. Wish she'd do some UK gigs. -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?' Life is arbitrary Back to top

3Wheeler Group: Members Posts: 828 Joined: Aug. 2007 Posted: Oct. 30 2011, 12:54 Yeah She seems mainly to do gigs in Italy & Scandinavia most recently.. Although She did do a Special 2 Nights in Glasgow Last Year...   Seems a Lot of the Older Uk Artists only get Regular Gigs Abroad.. -------------- We're Flying Aeroflot, We've Got Reservations.

Amazing to think she's in her mid fifties now and she's still got that beautiful voice. -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?'

I mean -  I love the original, but that was just.....aaaaah! Why does she keep doing that? The money maybe? I wish she wouldn't! She's written some nice songs of her own over the years. I'd rather listen to those. -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?' Life is arbitrary Back to top

Theyre not interested in the UK ..  Yeah Shes got some Good Stuff on the Solo Albums..

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Nov. 03 2011, 15:56 In defense of Maggie in Tati's video, if you close your eyes to avoid the out of synch audio and the strange dancing, I thought her vocal was pretty good! Backing track weak but to me she sounded just fine -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

stpaul Group: Members Posts: 230 Joined: Feb. 2005 Posted: Nov. 04 2011, 04:18 The show is not my cup of tea, but she has a beautiful voice. It became a little bit deeper as you can hear during Foreign Affair. Nevertheless she's a very good live singer and I wished she had performed with Mike on NOTP in 2006. Back to top

Bradnorman Group: Members Posts: 142 Joined: Oct. 2011 Posted: Nov. 04 2011, 14:38 Yeah - I guess she’s got to go where the invites are. Can’t blame her for that I suppose. I did close my eyes and put my hands over my ears! Your right though - she’s still got the voice. NOTP - if only. That would have been fantastic! I didn’t realise she’d been asked though. Bad decision on her part!!!       -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?' Life is arbitrary Back to top

Well it seems that I (and anyone else who might have been interested in listening to it) have been misinformed! It isn't on tonight and there's no explanation as to why!!! What's the point in having a website if it's not kept up to date? -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?'

Bradnorman Group: Members Posts: 142 Joined: Oct. 2011 Posted: Nov. 28 2011, 12:44 If anyone is interested - Maggie's website in the Netherlands tells us that the programme will now be broadcast early in the new year. Well done 'Heartsong'! It would have been useful if her official site had provided the information first, or even responded to emails for that matter! -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?'

Mainly the Continent for some Reason...  Guess the Invites are pretty  Common in Italy ,Germany etc for these type of   70s 80s Night Shows.. This is exactly how Maggie is perceived here. She's had one big hit here (well, two really) and she's only called to sing those, no-one cares about her own non-Mike material. But Italians do love her when she sings those two songs. That said, I have to underline the fact that The Best Years, that particular show, is indeed a retro show, but it's not only concerned with the 70s and the 80s... it's concerned with the Sixties, the Seventies, the Eighties, the Nineties and even the early Two Thousands. I admit loving it because the people who run the show always choose very good songs and singers, and everyone sings live in there [no lip-synch from anyone!! ]. Of course I loved Maggie's performance. She's still got a great voice indeed. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Starwatcher Group: Members Posts: 129 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Jan. 15 2012, 16:21 Last Friday night Maggie appeared in a German TV show on SWR-TV performing Moonlight shadow and Everytime We Touch. It was also a kind of 80 retro show but the singing was really live (with a small band). She did the two songs in a more "souly" way which fitted much better to her whole appearence than the performance shown in the video above. I was very happy to see her and got the impression that she had lost a lot of weight in recent time, is that right? Unfortunately I can't find any link to the show... Maybe there will be someone more clever than me in web searching... -------------- "...but every while I would remember..." Back to top

Bradnorman Group: Members Posts: 142 Joined: Oct. 2011 Posted: Jan. 16 2012, 14:29 Hi Starwatcher Thank you for posting. I’ve just done a search on Google, and I found both songs on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXc5-JKYDZk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5KTlY2RaDw I quite enjoyed those, especially ‘Moonlight Shadow’. They certainly were much better than the previous video. That was awful! I’m not sure who was backing her though. It wasn’t her own band.   And you’re right - I think she has lost a lot of weight. She looks very well, and it was nice to see her again.         -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?'

Starwatcher Group: Members Posts: 129 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Jan. 21 2012, 14:11 Hi Bradnorman, nice that you found these two clips. The musicians were the band of SWR-TV. They backed all the artists performing that evening. Before the performance of 'Everytime We Touch' the presenter of the show had a short interview with Maggie. They had asked her to bring a video with her that she likes especially and she had chosen the original video of 'Everytime We Touch' because of her 4-year-old son starring in it. A small part of the video was shown (the little one was really cute! and Maggie told that it had been a strenuous day for him during the shooting of the scenes but that he also had had a lot of fun. She said that he is about 26 now and you could see that she's very proud of him. It was so good to listen to her that evening and to see that she seems to be fine. She's a great artist and will always be one of my 'favorite voices'. You're a lucky one to get in touch with her via email...   -------------- "...but every while I would remember..." Back to top
