Margo Buchanan is one of the UKs key backroom vocal talents, the first-choice backing singer for megastars including David Gilmour, Tina Turner Joni Mitchell, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, James Blunt, KT Tunstall, and countless others. Margos vocal coaching skills were also responsible for turning familiar TV faces into spectacular musical voices on the recent hit BBC One show Just The Two Of Us.
Margo has been gigging from 15, turned down The Specials when asked to dye her hair blonde (the only job she regrets saying "no" to), refused MCA attempts to market her as the girl with the red guitar in the eighties and has subsequently played with some of the biggest and best in the business - including performances at the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations!
While Margo feels she "should've done this years ago", in many ways the timing for her debut solo record couldn't have been better. In a record industry where female singer-songwriters are forced to assume a "cool" or "kooky" veneer, Margo's music is a breath of fresh air - harking back to a time when the likes of Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac and Carole King proved that a well-produced, consummately arranged and painstakingly written song will endure far longer than the latest over-hyped new thing.
Her lifetime experiences of the record industry - both first and second hand - have given Margo the hard-earned wisdom to see beyond such limitations and inform the very core of their songwriting.

The album "I Should've Done This Years Ago" is released on 15/05/2006.
