Craig gave a very fine performance. He had people up & dancing throughout, played lots of rock n roll, which our customers loved. Highly recommended, & one of the best voices I've heard in a long time. 5 star, 10 out of 10.

"Craig gave a great performance at our pub. Unbelievable voice, sang for literally hours & had everyone up & dancing throughout. Sang lots of rock n roll, which our customers loved. Already booked Craig for 2 more dates this year. One of the best I've seen, definitely worth the money.
5 stars. 10 out of 10."

Craig was a very good act. Unbelievable voice, played for literally hours & had people up & dancing throughout. Performed lots of rock n roll, which our customers loved. Have re-booked for 2 more dates later in the year. One of the best I've seen. 5 star, 10 out of 10.

Great performer, amazing voice, sang some great songs for well over 3 hours. Everyone loved him & we've booked Craig again for another function we have coming up in April. Would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Set List/Services

I perform for 3 hours + (with no breaks unless requested) with a variety of tracks (see above) building into a great rock n ' roll/party tunes crescendo! Lots of music, very little chat, just pure entertainment & fun! You won't find anyone else who performs as many songs per performance (with no breaks) for such a low fee. I believe in giving value for money & I work hard for you to ensure you get your money's worth! Every venue I have played have been impressed with my voice & song choice, & I can give you people/landlords etc to contact if you would like any reviews/references.
The set and songs performed can be catered for your tastes/event, and I also perform a beautiful set of pure ballads/love songs for weddings/anniversary's. I can also play sets suitable for nursing or retirement homes etc.
