Linda Moore

Keyboards & Backing Vocals

Linda started playing in bands later in life, having played piano as a child. She loves musical theatre and has performed in many amateur shows, but now prefers to be in the audience.

Linda enjoys sharing her love of music with her primary school students, and encourages them to ‘have a go’ at playing a variety of instruments.

Linda’s involvement in Party Girls has led to other projects, namely ‘Lost Girls’ (playing covers from the 70s and 80s) and more recently ‘Grace Land’ (playing Elvis songs). She feels fortunate to have the opportunity to play with so many talented and friendly musicians.

After all these years, Linda still enjoys looking out at all the smiling faces in the crowd and watching them singing and dancing along to the best songs!

Her first performance was playing bagpipes in Adelaide’s Christmas Pageant aged 10 which launched her lifelong addiction to entertaining audiences. Rena’s teenage holiday job was to go busking every chance she got.

Rena has recorded 5 albums and toured nationally and overseas with Adelaide’s Spiral Dance and continues to perform with them in their 30th year. Other past acts include E.L.V.I.S.

“I love playing to an audience! People might think they have come just to watch a show. But you pour your energy into the performance, the audience amplifies that back and you keep lifting each other until it hits them – they are part of the band.”
