Craig J Wildon
Live Musician - Keyboardist
My performances are lively musical journeys designed to lift spirits and bring people together. From toe-tapping singalongs to timeless classical pieces, I blend a rich mix of genres including 40s, 50s, 60s, Swing, Jazz, Country, Latin American, Disco, and Novelty Songs.
A little bit about me:
My musical journey began at the age of eight, when I first started learning to play the organ — a passion that grew steadily through my teenage years. Those early lessons laid a solid foundation, giving me the skills and love of music that still drive me today.
My first public appearance was a surprise twist of fate: I stepped in to play at a wedding reception when my teacher was unexpectedly double-booked. That impromptu debut became the spark for years of live performances across Blackpool and the Fylde.
Over the years, I’ve played at various venues including The Imperial, The Cliffs, Fleetwood Marine Hall, and The Headlands Hotel (my very first!) and many others. From elegant hotel lounges to formal dinners and special events, each setting has shaped my style and sound.
These days, I bring that same spirit to the stage using a professional keyboard — blending traditional techniques with a modern touch.
Whether it’s a well-loved tune that brings back fond memories or a cheerful song that gets everyone singing, my aim is always the same: to share familiar music with warmth, personality, and a genuine sense of connection.
If you feel a live session might brighten an afternoon for your residents, please feel free to get in touch.
I am fully insured, DBS checked, and all my equipment is PAT tested.
