So sad.
I worked with Maggie for a number of years. She was a "working" vocalist in bands.
she was with Ken Maddison trio for a number of years then "did the clubs".
After retiring she got bored and decided to sing blues. By using her usual wonderful talent she became the blues singer to watch and was singing to the end. She even sang at her living wake.
BIG BIG MISS
Hi Colin, I was just browsing the internet for information about my Dad and saw this sad news about Maggie. Really sorry to hear that she's passed away, although it's wonderful to think of her singing right up to the end. I hope you're well. Jane Maddison
Kind regards, Jane
