- The_Moir_Sisters abstract "Moir Sisters were an Australian pop group from the mid-1970s. Their big hit was Good Morning (How Are You?), which featured their distinctive high-pitched harmonies. It was released on 5 August 1974 and remained on the Australian national charts for 27 weeks, peaking at 8th position.Born in Scotland, Jean, Margot and Leslie moved to Australia in the early 60s, launching their trio in 1970. They are best known for the 74 hit, Good Morning How Are You. The sweet-voiced trio with sharpie haircuts, who were signed to Elton John's record label named The Rocket Record Company, wrote their own songs and distinctive 3-part harmonies. As "Moir Sisters", they released an album in 1975, Lost Somewhere beyond Harmony, produced by the TV musical director Ivan Hutchinson; as the Moirs, back in the UK, they released State of Shock in 1978.In the early 1980s, The Moirs signed to WEA and issued two singles, So Excited b/w You Won't Get Me (1982) and Running Scared b/w See You Coming (1983). The sisters continued to perform, and Margot Moir issued a solo single, Scarlet Skies b/w Tightrope in 1989, and album, Strong And Mighty in 1996. Margot, based in Melbourne, continues to perform with her daughter Rae-Emma in the band Celtic Spirit.The group consisted of three sisters: Jean (born 1957), Margot (1959) and Lesley (1962).Moir sisters last performanceI was the sound engineer for Ricky May from 1983-1988. Circa 1986 Ricky performed at “Banjo’s” a then Jazz Club in North Melbourne founded by one of the Tamworth Country Music Festival’s early “Golden Banjo” winners, aptly nicknamed “Banjo”. Banjo passed the club on in his will to another “Golden Banjo” winner who he barely knew, because he didn’t have any suitable relatives to leave it to. The club’s new owner also took the nickname “Banjo”.During Ricky May’s performance circa 1986 at Banjo’s, the Moir sisters were in the audience, and as was fairly common when other entertainers were present at his concerts, Ricky called the Moir sisters out of the Audience to perform a song. They were reluctant and required a fair amount of coaxing as they had not sung together for many years at that point. The band started to play “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” which the sisters apparently knew. The song started off tragically and you could see the painful expressions of sympathy for the elderly Moir Sister on the faces of the audience, when suddenly about 1/3 of the way into the song, like magic their voices came together and the rest of the song was the most impressive performance of the number I have ever heard (Bette Midler included). By the end of the song, tears were streaming down the sisters faces, and their gratitude toward Ricky May, for giving them that golden moment, overflowed during the thunderous applause and standing ovation they received.".
