January: Dawn Lacey and Moira performed a concert together at a Masonic Lodge banquet. This was the first performance for the duo not affiliated with a women's event.

March is always a busy month for Moira. Each year she organizes the International Women's Day concert; a variety show of outstanding women's performing talent. Often she is involved in other Women's Day events as well. She performed a short set during the week of celebrations at another event, but opted not to perform at this year's concert.
