Background information
. Tony Moore's background in the music industry has been diverse. The first band he joined in 1977 was (the then unknown) Iron Maiden. A fan of progressive rock, Moore was working in the Hi-Fi department of Debenhams store in Bristol, and had just bought a small Korg synthesiser when he saw an advertisement in the Melody Maker for a keyboard player for a London band. This turned out to be Iron Maiden. He contacted Steve Harris (who shared a fondness for Progressive rock), then auditioned and was invited to join the band. He moved to London to begin rehearsals. At that time members of the band all had day jobs and rehearsed once or twice a week.

In 1986, Moore was invited to play keyboards with a new band called Cutting Crew who went on to have a world wide hit with "(I Just) Died in Your Arms Tonight". For two more years he toured the world and recorded with the band, at which point he signed a solo deal with a small independent label in London. He released one single to critical acclaim (including airplay from Bob Harris) before joining forces with Argentine singer/songwriter Marie Claire D'ubaldo. He co-wrote and co-produced tracks for her debut album on Polydor records that sold over 250,000 worldwide.

In 2001, Moore performed his own composition, "That's My Love" in the A Song For Europe contest, hoping to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest. He finished second in the competition, behind Lindsay Dracass. He wrote other songs for the contest in earlier years.

In March 2006, he toured America, performing in Nashville, Austin, Los Angeles and New York and has continued to perform live on his return to the UK.

Early in 2008, Moore became the regular presenter of a one hour live show called Lets Talk Music for the Maltese television station One TV. Broadcast every Thursday night at 8:35 pm (Maltese time), it featured a panel of music professionals who discussed different aspects of the music business and answer questions from the audience.
