Sharon O'Neill "Edge of Winter" 1990

…O’Neill’s third NZ album Maybe was released in 1981 and the title track reached No.12 on the NZ Singles Chart. By this stage John McCready had moved to CBS Australia, initially as the Marketing Manager, but he was soon MD. He secured Sharon and her band the opening spot on the Boz Scaggs tour with Dave Dobbyn guesting on guitar and vocal harmonies...

...O’Neill then made the move to live in Australia where the 1980s were a mixed bag – she initially enjoyed massive success with Foreign Affairs and then several years out of work (ie. unable to record), due to the legal stoush with CBS.
She told Shake! (Dec 1987), “So I just wrote songs and did a lot of travelling, The States, London.” O’Neill also wrote with new partner Alan Mansfield of Dragon whom she met on Dragon’s 1984 Body And The Beat Tour of New Zealand.
By 1987 O’Neill had a new deal with Polydor UK and a single ‘Danced In The Fire’. She told Real Groove in 2001, “I was very fortunate I got that deal. A friend, Roger Davies, who was managing Tina Turner secured the Polydor deal out of the UK for me. Unfortunately being done out of the UK probably was a mistake. I put a lot of hard work into [the two albums for Polydor] but the last album Edge Of Winter [1990] is as scarce as hens’ teeth, I’ve only got one copy. They only made a certain amount.”
Occasionally, O’Neill has made return visits home to record: in 2001, as a member of a reunited When the Cat’s Away; in 2006, alongside Johnny Devlin, Shane, and Larry Morris in The Best of The Best tour; even, in 2017, a home town gig in Nelson.
O'Neill was inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame in November 2017. - Audioculture
