Flairck - Sleight of Hand


In 1986 the Dutch folk group Flairck released their album "Sleight of Hand" for which Maggie recorded 3 songs:
"At the blacksmith's hands" (listen via YouTube), "Walk upon dreams  " and "Trick of the night  ".


Flairck's Erik Visser says about working with Maggie:

"Introduced by producer Mike Batt, Maggie sang a few songs on our album "Sleight of Hand", which was recorded in England (Comforts Place Studios, south of London). She enjoyed doing it, specially because she likes to sing old English songs and we recorded an arrangement of the English traditional "The blacksmith". If I'm not mistaken, Maggie was pregnant during the recordings. Later she came to us in Holland for a TV special and a Flairck concert in the Amsterdam theatre Carré. She had her baby son with her, who was very young at that time. After that we haven't seen her, she could not be persuaded to go touring with us, which is understandable when you have a little baby! She was a very nice person to work with, an excellent singer, very professional too."
