Craig Pearson
Favourite Quote: “This time next year
we’ll be millionaires…”


Craig Pearson is a local session player from Leicester who joined the show early in 2003 on keyboards.

A former builder and landscape gardener, Craig has established himself as a highly valued musician and company member, and is a promising songwriter with ambitions of maybe having one of his songs published one day.

Inspired by John Wayne and his wife (not in that order!), Craig also enjoys football, property programmes and watching TV documentaries.

During a show, you won’t always see much of Craig as he does his stuff behind racks of keyboards, and he also takes care of various technical systems and lighting.

There's no denying that the man ‘knows his thang!”, and quite frankly, he knows it well!

Craig’s favourite venues are “...any in Dubai!” …can you blame him?!
