about

Ian Moor (born Ian John Moor, 4 January 1974, North Ferriby, East Riding of Yorkshire) is an English singer, and the Stars in Their Eyes Champion of Champions. He was brought up in West Hull, living first in Anlaby, and then later in Willerby. His brother, Paul Moor, is one of Europe's top Ten-pin Bowlers, and is a three time winner of the European Bowling Tour. Moor was educated first at Anlaby Junior School, where he was first introduced to singing, by music teacher Gwen Staveley. Moor joined the "Music Makers" choir, and was a member throughout his time at the school, regularly performing solos at the school concerts. He also tried his hand at playing the violin, but was unsuccessful and stopped playing after a few years. Moor then went into secondary education at Wolfreton School in Kirk Ella and left with 9 GCSEs. In February 1993, Moor enrolled in a government sponsored course in entertainment, the first of its kind in the country, which was organised and run by local Hull based entertainer Johnny Pat. This gave Moor the necessary experience to eventually turn professional and earn a living as a singer. From April 1994 Moor worked at Croda Paints (later becoming Ameron Coatings) in Hull, as a laboratory technician, and left at the end of 1999 to pursue a career in entertainment. In 1999 Moor won the hit ITV show Stars in Their Eyes produced by Granada Television, Manchester in 1999, with his impersonation of Irish musician and songwriter Chris De Burgh. Moor sang De
