10 Aug 09 - 01:08 PM (#2697054) Subject: RE: Moira Greenwood - Stravaig From: GUEST,Jenny Wilson Such a sad loss, and far, far too soon - but I'd like to say just how much Moira, and all Stravaigers, gave to traditional music; not only did they perform it wonderfully, but they made a songbook, they worked with youngsters (and oldsters) and set a fine example of how good it is to sing - only they did it so much better than the rest of us! Sing sweetly, Moira - we'll be listening for you. |

I remember fondly how Stravaig would create such a sense of fun in their performances, and was a great admirer of all the work they did to encourage young people to sing. My deepest sympathy to Moira's family and to Jean, Phyllis and Susie. Anne. |

It seems right to me to make a link on Moira's thread so those who haven't heard Stravaig's singing can have a taste. Stravaig- sound samples Buy the cd if you can; lovely music, lovely people. Moira, you are sorely missed. Jean, Phyllis and Susie, we'd love to hear you singing again. Maeve |
