However, it is as the resident singer on ITV’s Name That Tune that she became a firm family favourite, working with TV Hosts Tom O'Connor and Lionel Blair.   She later joined funny-man Russ Abbot in his four year BBC Comedy Series, when she revealed a natural flair for mimicking accents and dialects (a talent first noticed when she played opposite Mike Yarwood in a “Hart to Hart” take-off sketch, during his ITV series).

GETTING THERE

At the age of 3, Maggie started training in tap and ballet, and became a professional dancer before making her singing debut as one of the "Dee-Lights" with Mo Rivers.

As a solo artiste, she went on to win "New Faces" in the late 70's (with a 100% mark from Record Mogul Mickie Most) when she was “discovered” by hit song-writers Don Black & Geoff Stevens who signed her for the lead role of "Pandora" on their concept album “Dear Anyone”, D.J.M. records.

She was “Special Guest Star” to Johnnie Mathis, during his four week British tour which opened with four performances at The Royal Albert Hall, after which she supported world-famous pianist, Peter Nero, in concert in Chicago, USA.  

Maggie’s own half-hour TV Special for Grampian Television received the TV & Radio Industries Club of Scotland Award, and in 1986 she was nominated alongside Madonna, Cliff Richard and Wham for the UK MOST POPULAR SINGER Award in the TV Times’ TV Awards.

PANTOMIME & THEATRE & RECORDINGS

As Principal Boy, she has starred in 11 major Pantomime Productions, and between 1997-2002 toured extensively with Mark Rattray in “The Magic Of Bacharach” and “Musical Magic”, a superb production featuring Songs From The Musicals, past and present.

Past releases include the concept album “Dear Anyone” DJM Records;  “I Wanna Be Loved By You” Red Bus;  “The Thrill Of Love” Telstar.   Eurovision single “Happy Everything”, a Spanish album with 11 original compositions, and "Nothing Compares 2U" Dance Album.

CURRENT

Recent TV appearances include BBC’s Pebble Mill, Channel 5’s “Five’s Company” and as a guest on Anne Charleston's "Star Lives".  Maggie is a regular guest artiste on board cruise liners and for the armed forces overseas. 

She keeps busy recording voice-overs, corporate video presentations and singing at corporate conventions.  In 2001 she appeared with Frank Carson at the Weymouth Pavilion, in 2002/2003 toured with Craig Douglas and the Tornados, and in 2004 she “topped the bill” at the Westcliff Theatre, Clacton.  In 2005 Maggie teamed up with ex-singing partner Mo Rivers to record "As Time Goes By" ... a contemporary revival of 34 wartime favourites within 15 dance track compositions.
