Craig McGee DJ – Summer 2010

After successful residencies started this year at the Brass Monkey in Finniston, Craig has played storming sets at T in the Park, Rockness and venues across Manchester including Eurocultured Festival and in the Umbro design HQ as part of their world cup programme. He has just been announced to play at Kendal Calling also at the ‘House Party’

Aswell as the Major Scottish festivals, gigs in Manchester including venues such as Soundcontrol, Umbro’s Design studio, Apotheca, Joshua Brooks alongside a gig on a farm for Orange Rockcorps it has been a busy summer for McGee

Craig has booked DJS to play at T in the Park the last 3 years and recently in Manchester booked the DJs for all the projects that were part of Orange Rockcorps. He sourced a number of DJs to play at over 40 projects Manchester wide as part of Rockcorps volunteer experience.

Craig will be making a return to Glasgow at his Friday night Brass Monkey residency and will be featuring as part of a new monthly Saturday night in the Soundhaus

Craig believes that his laptop is for checking emails and sticks to CD’s and vinyl! A love of music from the 50’s to present day and growing up in the ‘iTunes generation’ ensures his love of all types of music including indie, rock & roll, electro, chart and pop meaning a very varied playlist in every set.

Craig is available for bookings at club nights, pubs, clubs and parties. Please email [email protected] for more details.
