Big Thanx to everyone who has been out to see the return of The Craving. We are currently working on filling the diary for 2008, so any venues interested in booking the band please check out gig list and drop us a line.
Our new set list is now starting to take shape with some 'different' songs in the set. Look out for Cliff, Britney, Duran Duran, The Osmonds along with some classic rock (Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Free), some glam rock (T-Rex, Alice Cooper, David Bowie) and some modern rock (Velvet Revolver, Green Day, Nickelback, Stiltskin) with some new stuff coming soon (Stone Temple Pilots, My Chemical Romance, Blur).
The above music on the player is from the old line-up. Examples of the new sound of The Craving will be posted soon.
Massive praise to Keith from Junkyard Dogs for stepping in and playing the Hope & Anchor gig with us (with no rehearsal) at such short notice.

WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS.

FINALLY THE GUYS WOULD LIKE TO THANK ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS BAND,THAT INCLUDES FORMER BAND MEMBERS OUR WIVES, GIRLFRIENDS, FAMILIES FOR PUTTING UP WITH US!!!!!!!

BUT MOST OF ALL A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OUR FANS AND FOLLOWERS THAT GAVE US THIS REASON TO CARRY ON......WE LOVE YOU


We would like to welcome Tim Snape to the band as the new drummer.
All in The Craving both past and present wish to express our deepest sympathy to the family of Martin Knight, our former drummer, who tragically joined the great gig in the sky on Saturday morning. Although he had recently had a few health issues this news has come as a huge shock and we are all devastated by the loss of such a wonderful man and friend. Martin was the kindest, most helpful individual that you could ever wish to meet. Our thoughts are immediately with Jane, Adam, Katie and Cadence and our gig last night we dedicate to his memory.
MARTIN KNIGHT R.I.P. Gone but never forgotten.
