Across an industry that can be unforgiving, Tony Moore is one of its most positive, and endearing characters. Since taking a short-lived chance opportunity to join Iron Maiden in 1976-77, his career has seen many twists and turns; performing with Tanz Der Youth, Radio Java, and the chart-topping Cutting Crew; playing the closing ceremony… Read my full interview with Mark Lacey here.
The Cart and Horses, Stratford, has an association with Iron Maiden that goes back decades. Steve Harris first performed with Gypsies Kiss 39 years ago, and he later returned with Iron Maiden, who had their first residency there. Fast forward to 2023, and the pub has a new, multipurpose basement venue where this week, the musical chameleon and ex-Iron Maiden keyboard player Tony Moore brought his one-man stage show Awake for one night only.

“Never Gonna Say Goodbye” is the heartwarming and sentimental celebration of letting go. Looking back at the distance we’ve traveled but also to the future that lay ahead.

Things that were once part of the present and future speak all too loudly of the past…

Delighted to present Tony Moore with the SongLink Song of the Year Award for ‘Crazy in the Shed’ at the Bedford last night. Tony played his 14th performance of the ‘Awake’ double album last night, (December 22, 2021) a superb show as ever. Plus I stepped up to play tambo on the reprise at the end, go Tony and keep Awake going in 2022!”

MADE IN 77
A few years ago, I wrote, played, and recorded this to celebrate 40 years since I joined Iron Maiden as a keyboard player in 1977.

The list of musical “Standards” he has played over the decades has been extensive but out of them very few songs can be thought of as timeless classics and of those, there is really only one that can be said to have become an iconic part of all our cultures….”
