Researching information on Margaret McLaren is almost zilch, however, from what I have gleaned, is that she provided vocals for Johnny O'Keefe's backing band (The Stuart Park Showband) for a couple of years - 1972 - 74. In 1973 she recorded a duet with O'Keefe covering Inez and Charlie Foxx's 1969 hit ''Mockingbird''. Released on the Festival label it reached the national charts top ten coming in at #8. Margaret McLaren did not release any other records which was a real shame because she was such a powerhouse singer. Later she spent 15 years in a vocal group called Vocamotion. They had three regular gigs a week - Lemon Tree Hotel in Carlton, Park Royal on St Kilda Rd and the Balaclava Hotel in Balaclava where she later did hotel management. From those gigs they picked up a lot of corporate gigs and private functions. Any other info would be gladly welcomed. Cheers. Sadly, Margaret died in 2024 aged 69.
