Maureen, born in Dundee, was very much influenced by the late Belle Stewart and Mary Brooksbank and felt a close affinity with their singing and their songs. Gordeanna McCulloch was another influence and was one of the singers Maureen heard at her first Kinross Festival. With her obvious love of the songs and her great sense of fun, Maureen has proved to be a great favourite, both as a solo artist and as part of the group Palaver.
