A Royal Academy of Music graduate, Craig Armstrong passed through the ranks of his native city's band culture (a band member of Hipsway, Texas and The Big Dish) to become one of the world's most sought-after and respected composers and arrangers. In the contemporary field, Madonna, U2, Björk and Massive Attack are among the acts to have benefited from his talents, but he is also a skilled and experienced writer for theatre and film. Amongst his many credits are the scores for the Baz Luhrmann hits, William Shakespeare's 'Romeo + Juliet' (for which he received the Anthony Asquith BAFTA Award and an Ivor Novello for Best Original Score) and 'Moulin Rouge' (for which he received a Golden Globe Award and the American Film Institute Award).
His latest work Memory Takes My Hand, released on June 02, 2008.
