LORD TOBY JUG, THE OFFICIAL MONSTER RAVING LOONY PARTY TEL: 07904 769 409 CRAIG DOUGLAS NEWS  Hi, Just a note to thank you so much for publishing news re: Craig Douglas.Really appreciated. Just thought I would update you with latest on Craig , who is really getting all his confidence back after such a huge, life changing set back. Oct 6th 2011, at the Medina Theatre , Newport IOW, Craig successfully spent 2 hrs on stage introducing his own "special friends", telling anecdotes, singing songs from his old hits to the brand new recorded songs of his new album. The special friends appearing with his own band was Nichola Bailey , young singer songwriter from the Island. A friend of 50 yrs , Pat Reader who was a Joe Meek recording artist , and his very good friend Marty Wilde. Marty did 5 songs unplugged , and 3 duets with Craig, including their / both big hit " Teenager in Love". Craig and Marty went down a storm to a SOLD OUT AUDIENCE, and a 5 min standing ovation, with the Audience fully appreciating this new style show. (A Jools Holland type show). THROUGH PUBLIC DEMAND , CRAIG AND I HAVE RE:BOOKED THE MEDINA THEATRE, NEWPORT, IOW. for Thurs. March 8th 2011 to appear in a similar concept with another good friend ALVIN STARDUST. ALVIN will be singing 5/6 songs , again unplugged , and 3 duets with CRAIG. CRAIG has also been asked to sing a couple of old songs at the Water Rats Annual Dinner and Dance , in London on the 27th Nov. We are hoping to be able to announce over the next couple of months a few shows , with very special guests , around the South of England. CRAIG'S CD "The Craig Douglas Project" with producer Andy Gray. Update. We have not yet released his CD as yet , due to two major record labels being interested in the CD. This , as you would appreciate , takes a long-time for them to make decisions these days , but I will keep you updated as to when and how Craig's CD will be eventually released. What has been released are three songs from his new CD , on You Tube. Click the title to see the video on You Tube We would appreciate your comments when you go into these You Tube sites. We did , however, print up 200 copies of his CD , of which we have approx. 100 left (signed) for promotion. If anyone is interested in purchasing this "special issue" before general release , then please contact me direct for details. The CD 's are £10 each plus P&P. £2. My details are.

Thank you again for helping Craig build a new,and exciting career. Mike Reader THE CRAIG DOUGLAS PROJECT  Craig Douglas, the 50’s and 60’s hit recording star who had a British number one and sold more than 20 million records has joined forces with one of the UK’s top music producers Andy Gray. Craig’s career spans more than 50 years. Voted Best New Singer in 1959, Craig has had nine Top 40 UK singles including the Number One ‘Only Sixteen’. This well remembered early UK pop star continues his career with film, stage and cabaret appearances around the globe. Andy’s long list of credits includes the music for Big Brother, the soundtrack for the film Swordfish, which starred John Travolta, remixes for Madonna, U2 and Gary Numan and many more. Most recent works include the music for the film TT3D, a movie about the world famous TT motor cycle race. Craig and Andy have come together to revitalise classic hit songs and vocals, reinventing the source material and introducing Craig to completely new singing styles. This has, in part, also resulted in a re-invention of Craig himself, who after a period of ill health, is delighted to be involved in this ground breaking project. Amongst the new material to Craig are hits by Radiohead (Creep), and World Party (Is it Like Today) – songs Craig would never have dreamt of singing before getting together with Andy this year. Craig’s distinctive vocals are expertly arranged and produced by Andy, making each song sound like Craig’s own. Also involved in the Project is Pat Reader. Pat won a talent competition on the Isle Of Wight the same night as Craig, in a different theatre! Pat and Craig have remained firm friends ever since, their friendship spans 50 years. Pat went on to record with Joe Meek and after a long break away from the world of show business, is now working alongside Craig and Andy. Simon Spurr and Lewis Berry, two professional Island musicians complete the Project team. Contact for more details. D.G.R. Productions. c/o Upnor House, Bullen Road, Ryde, Isle of Wight.
