About / Biography

Thankyou for taking the time to read a little more about me.

My name is Craig and I'm a full-time professional musician, specialising in the piano.

After spending four years studying at the Paul McCartney fame school, I left with my degree and went straight into performing at weddings and events.

Since then I have literally played at thousands of events and have been fortunate enough to be asked to tour annually with The Four Tops, The Temptations, The Three Degrees, Tavares, Freda Payne and The platters to name but a few. If you have seen any of these acts at the O2 arena or any of the other large stadiums in the country, then you have already met me (although from a distance).

I have many different options for your wedding or event which cover everything from solo piano, right up to a full band with DJ service. A few regularly chosen options are outlined here:

  • Solo Piano
  • Piano with Vocals
  • Piano Duo with your choice of Upright Bass, Saxophone, Jazz guitar, Drums, Female vocals, Percussion
  • Various band options from 3 piece upwards (including Jazz/Swing, Pop/Classics, RnB/Soul/Motown, Dance/House, Retro/Vintage)

I specialise in tailoring my options exactly to your requirements and theme. This comes from a vast experience in weddings and events. I am also the musical director for the large Christmas events at Tatton Park, Aintree Racecourse and the ICC Birmingham so you may have experienced my work at these venues already.

If you have any questions, please ask. Whatever ideas you have I promise to come up with a musical solution to create your perfect day/evening.

For those looking to book me as a musician or MD for a project then my main instruments are Piano/Keyboards, Drums, Bass, Vocals (Composition and recording services are also available).
