Eilish Moore was a singer and an activist to her core. She was a magnetic force who drew people together from all walks of life: fellow singers and musicians, dancers, poets, artists and many who found scant welcome in other quarters. She was also an actor and a visual artist, an avid knitter and a jewellery maker.
She championed myriad social justice issues throughout her long life, always identifying at a deep level with those who felt the hard edges of injustice impinge on their daily lives.
These included the Travelling community, H Block prisoners and their families, the Birmingham Six and the Guildford Four, the anti-nuclear movement, women who sought out the support of the Rape Crisis Centre and, most recently, the people of Palestine.
