Moira Lambert

Who is Moira Lambert?

Moira Lambert is a British singer and recording artist.

She has collaborated with Saint Etienne on the Neil Young cover "Only Love Can Break Your Heart".

Moira began singing, playing acoustic guitar and song-writing as a child in Africa, largely influenced by the Celtic folk songs her parents taught her. While at school in the UK she became a fan of the British indie scene, enjoying acts like The Smiths and The Cure, later exploring vintage records by artists like Sandy Denny, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell.

Lambert has studied at the Conservatory of Music, playing in coffee bars and worked with Spanish cellist, pianist and composer Dan Anies, who co-wrote two of the songs on Moira’s first solo album 'Coming Up Roses'.

Polygram gave her a publishing deal and UK independent label Big Cat Records signed Moira as a teenager. She stayed there, touring the UK with Lush and Slowdive and Europe with label mates Jeff Buckley and Heather Nova until the label was bought out by V2 records in 1996.

After co-writing the top 20 UK chart hit, "Skin on Skin", with Paul Oakenfold for his Grace project, Moira formed Ova, releasing a 3 track single, Universal Audio on UK independent label Global Warming. Since Ova broke up in January 2000, Moira has collaborated with Freeloader and Data, both UK electronica acts in the vein of Trip Hop, and contributed backing vocals to Tram’s album, A Kind of Closure, released on UK’s Jet Set Records.
