“This is truly a ‘bucketlist’ booking for me personally. I’m a huge fan and Craig has been a real influence on my music taste growing up.
“Since the inception of SandFest, even when it was just an idea on paper, Craig David was always on my top list to headline the event.
“The setting on the golden sands of Sandbanks is just made for his style and vibe. I am going to absolutely love watching the crowd’s reaction to him being on stage!
“I’ll be doing plenty of fanboying myself, but that is what it is all about. I don’t want to lose that thrill of experiencing something you could have only dreamed about when you were growing up. That is a philosophy I carry through in all my ventures.”
