I’m available to book for events, gigs and private functions as a solo saxophone player or with a variety of other musicians / bands.
EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig played for us on the terrace at Henbury Golf Club after our Championships. What a fantastic way to finish off a special day. Perfect set of music. Thank you!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig is a fantastic teacher and an absolutely wonderful saxophonist. He has been teaching our daughter for about 2 years since she was 7. She was desperate to play sax and Craig has nurtured her enthusiasm. He recently helped her pass grade 1 with distinction, even supporting her to compose and perform her own piece as part of the exam. One of the best things about Craig’s approach is his ability to understand when younger players may need to take breaks, or to try something different to help them keep their attention and focus. He is always positive, encouraging and playful and our daughter loves her lessons. I highly recommend Craig to any parents looking for a teacher for their children - or for themselves!

Thanks for the kind word Jenna. Your daughter is such a pleasure to teach. Such a talented young person. I look forward to seeing her progress through the music !Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig, is so energetic, and full of enthusiasm when he teaches, I’ve been looking for a great Saxophone teacher, and his Vibe has surely grasped me, he teaches in a great illustrated way, making it easy for a complete beginner to an expert to get grips with. I would truly recommend Craig for such knowledge and the way he cruises around the saxophone with skill. I am so pleased. Phil

Ah thanks Phil! I look forward to watching you go full throttle on that beautiful Selmer Series II!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig is an amazing sax teacher, my 8 year old son has come on a long way since having lessons with him! Musical, enthusiastic, passionate, Craig just lives and breathes the saxophone. It’s so cool that we’ve seen him in various gigs around Bristol, what an inspiration! Would 1000% recommend 🎷

Thanks! Your son is so talented ! I look forward to seeing him progress with the saxophone.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son, aged 13, started saxophone lessons with Craig during lockdown 2020. He came to the saxophone as a clarinettist - Craig was quick to spot my son’s natural flair for the instrument and has really helped him to progress at an impressive rate. He has just passed his grade 6 jazz saxophone with 96/100 and has achieved over 90% in all of the saxophone grades he has entered. These results are testimony to Craig’s inspiring and energetic approach in lessons. My son absolutely loves playing the saxophone and has had his eyes opened by Craig to an amazing repertoire of music.

Thanks Angela ! Ben is such a talented young man. I look forward to seeing how he progresses in his music!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has had lessons with Craig for about 7 years (has only stopped now as she has gone to University). He has taken her from a raw recruit on the saxophone to a confident grade 5 player. Craig has a great manner - lots of enthusiasm and patience as well as tremendous musicality and technical skill. He comes with our very great recommendation.

Thanks so much Heidi. It’s been a pleasure getting to know Miranda and your whole family over the years! I look forward to seeing how Miranda progresses and I’m certain she will be a success at whatever she puts her mind too.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig thoroughly entertained our guests with chilled Ibiza classics to welcome our members back for summer drinks. He was a dream to work with, playing alongside our DJ, friendly, easy going and fantastically talented.

Thanks so much Amy. I loved performing for Bristol Junior Chamber event ! You all were so much fun and welcoming. Hope to see you all again in the future.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend this fantastic sax teacher highly enough. Anyone who knows him would say the same. He brings energy and passion for music to every session. Through lockdown we had a hard time (like so many) and he was there for my daughter throughout. He's been her teacher for 8 years! That's commitment. Here is an early photo of Craig on stage at a BLOWOUT gig with many of his students years ago and another from maybe a year ago with my daughter having a lesson. We tried a few teachers before we found him because music is a big part of our lives, conducted quite a lot of research. I'm pretty confident in saying he's the best in the area. Go Craig! (Daughter recommends him too: "He's cool.")

Well you were a flute player to start with so I had something to work with haha! Great to see you progress over the last few years into a proper professional gigging horn player ! You make me proud !Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There’s so much I could write about Craig he has not just been a teacher to my son for 10 years, but a friend and mentor. At times when my son had confidence issues Craig’s patients, caring nature and belief in his ability carried him through and by the time he was 16 passed his grade 8 with Merit. Craig made every exam entry so easy by submitting the forms, preparing and supporting. Craig has had regular contact with my sons music teacher at school keeping them up to date. Craig also makes loads of effort arranging gigs for fun for his students in his own time! so it’s not all lessons the students get real performance time. My son is having and enjoying his lessons with Craig.
