Craig and Charlie made their last live appearance of the 2013 and their final appearance until 2015, in what was one of their most memorable and unique collaborations appearing at Birmingham Symphony Hall on Monday night with the magnificent Roy Wood Rock and Roll Band. Roy was celebrating in his home town, the 40th anniversary since the release of ‘I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day’.

In between playing the many classic hit songs Roy has written for The Move, Electric Light Orchestra and Wizzard, Craig and Charlie joined Roy and the band to perform some Proclaimers classics then returning for the finale, joined on stage also by The Enigma Strings and Stockton Green School Junior Choir to perform a celebratory version of the Christmas classic. Craig and Charlie enjoyed the occasion and performing with the legendary Roy and his fabulous collection of musicians immensely and the evening was a very special way to end after 115  performances around the World over the past couple of years.
