Life before the Sisters of Mercy
Prior to joining the Sisters, Craig was a member of The Expelaires (from 1978 to 1980) with Paul "Grape" Gregory (who later sang with 3000 Revs) and Dave "Wolfie" Wolfenden (from The Lorries).
The Sisters of Mercy (1981 - 1985)
"There was a band where Andy (Andrew Eldritch) was the drummer, not the singer, and it went down to him and Gary Marx, and they needed a bass player, so that was that…I wasn't really a bass player, I was keyboards, but I borrowed a bass and bluffed my way in."
