Biography

Moira Anderson trained in singing at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and is, without doubt, Scotland's biggest ever female singing star of her genre. She appeared frequently at the London Palladium, in at least five Royal Command Performances, and in various other similar productions, such as "Night of One Hundred Stars" and "Christmas Night of One Hundred Stars."

Her initial media exposure led her to be widely regarded within her native Scotland as merely a "Scottish Singer" (i.e. a singer of Scots songs), and was the cause of her being grossly underrated on home soil.

She was one of the most sought after and highly paid stars of the world's leading cruise liners, especially the QE2, and her London cabarets are legendary within that sphere. During these she proved herself to be a sparkling wit, a gifted mimic and impressionist as well as an accomplished pianist.

She lives in virtual retirement on the Isle of Man, and only makes infrequent and special appearances, usually for television, radio or prestigious cabarets, most recently for special functions at the Palace of Westminster.
