Craig Pike

King of Couthy, Man of the People and Pin up boy of the Sunshine Club (Kincorth), Craig is a local showbiz legend in his own lunchtime and with a squeeze of his hand he can bring joy to roomfuls of octogenarians when not pursuing his day job with a prominent local law firm.

Craig began his career at an early age, appearing as ‘The oracle’ in Mile End Primary School’s sell out production of “Queen Beryl and the Romans” in 1985. This part required him to wear his mother’s spare room curtains, a look which he periodically sports to this day, sometimes when bowling. In 1988 he made his professional debut as Third Munchkin from the Left in a towering production of “The Wizard of Oz”, playing alongside Jessica Martin, star of Bobby Davro’s TV weekly.

An accomplished accordion player, Craig is a stalwart of “Mrs Gerrard’s Accordion Band” ® and his recorded work includes the CD and Video box set “Hogmanay Party at Pittodrie House Hotel”, available now from Woolworths reduced to clear bins.

TV includes appearing as a solo artiste in “Little Donkey”, live from Beechgrove Church in 1986, and an appearance on Grampian TV in the shining and radiant company of Sarah Mack, a lady whom Craig has long admired, and who really is that colour in real life.

Craig is also resident choreographer for Flying Pig, a task he is well placed to undertake having gained experience at Balnagask Repertory of Dance where he graduated with distinction in Tap, Ballet and The Slosh.
