Supporting Quotes
The following are some unsolicited comments from people who have been fortunate
to work with Craig.
"We're so pleased to have Craig supporting
Macmillan. He has written something close to his
heart and has laid it out for the world to hear.
It's a huge effort to share your feelings with the
world and Craig is not only doing sharing his, he is
using them to benefit more people affected by
cancer."

TRIBUTE IS SO WORTHY
I'M wary of charity records but was blown
away by Craig Jeffrey from Galashiels.
He has recorded a song about the loss of his
grandparents to cancer in aid of MacMillan Nurses.
He's from the Paolo Nutini school of singing
...with looks to match!

Craig Jeffrey. ‘Hard To Say’.
Scotland has just gained one more person to be proud of!
I witnessed a solo set by Craig Jeffrey at a music festival 2 weeks ago. He
took to the stage with an audience of 10 family and friends watching. His half
hour slot ended with a crowd shoulder to shoulder inside and outside! What
brought them in? His voice! This young man is in possession of a natural talent
so spiritual and free it’s nothing less than brilliant to witness! If the Pied
Piper sang like this he’d have taken a country over the hills!
Finally, with debut single ‘Hard To Say’, he has the perfect spokesperson for
his music.. They expect big things for this record - but that’s just stating the
obvious. It’s the most powerful, emotive, heart achingly beautiful song you’ll
quite possibly hear this year. His singing voice has remarkable depth and
feeling and when coupled with plaintive acoustic guitar, as on this record, it’s
a tremulous vehicle indeed. It’s a ballad that nurtures its own ambience and has
such emotional leanings it will dictate your mood. This song displays a maturity
that any 22 year old would be proud to create. The name, Craig Jeffrey, has been
mentioned for a long time, now it’s time to judge him on his art. On this
performance he has little to worry about. The country will place him heart deep
and the ladies will probably love him!

"It's not every day that a chart topping, platinum album selling, international
star is blown off the stage by an unknown, unsigned singer song writer from
Galashiels, but that's exactly what happened this week at the Rock Against
Racism (ROAR) gig at the Tait Hall in Kelso writes Mark Inchley.
Sitting in his dressing room, next door to Paolo Nutini and Nerina Pallot, Craig
explained his dad had entered him in a competition to play at the gig without
his knowledge.
Sitting alone with his guitar and harmonica on stage
in front of a bustling crowd, Craig couldnt have looked more at home, his
reluctant charms winning the hearts of the audience almost immediately.
Craig took the crowd with him every step of the way"

Craig has demonstrated an amazing maturity by making this magnificent gesture of
donating all profits from his first CD single to Macmillan Cancer Support.
I have enjoyed working with Craig over the last few months in the studio and
have been greatly impressed at his steep learning curve in studio techniques and
procedures.
Craig and Brigside have a full length CD planned for later in the year. This
will be one to have on your shelf and player.

"I've heard all about Craig and his music from lots of different sources, and
those who have seen him have been impressed. He's obviously hugely talented and
destined for mainstream success"
