Eleftheria Zavalis:
Welcome to YOUR Music Craig! Tell us about your experience from Rockwave Fest 2013!
Craig Walker:
I really enjoyed the festival and the organizers where very kind and looked after us very well.The audience was small but cool so yes it was really nice.
Eleftheria Zavalis:
As far as I know you have visited our country before. What do you think of it? Would you come again besides work?
Craig Walker:
Yes i love Greece its a beautiful and amazing place and the people are exceptionally bright and clued in. Its one of the finest countries in the world so to answer your question yes!
Eleftheria Zavalis:
I want you to tell me about the musicians of Greece, since you had the chance to co-operate with some of them through Rockwave. Do you think that we have good artists?

Craig Walker:
Yes Greece has amazing artists on all fields. Pocket in Red and Pulse along with Rosebleed and of course Katerine Duska who sang with me at Rockwaves. Of course on the electronic field my dear friend Dimitris Papaspyropoulos who is excellent and NSquared are other favorites.
Eleftheria Zavalis:
What are your future plans, not only for you but also for your band, Mineral?
Craig Walker:
The Mineral debut album has just been completed and will be released in October and i'm over the moon with it. Its a mixture of electronic psychedelic and pop music. We have both male and female lead singers. Our artwork has been designed by the Greek artist Elsa Sturm from Corinth so we have a Greek connection already. Apart from Mineral i'm not sure. I love writing songs for other people and i hope to continue with this too.
Eleftheria Zavalis:
Do you want to reveal to us which is the strongest element of your new work with the band?

Craig Walker:
I would say the strongest elements for Mineral is that people find it difficult to describe our music.Its not one thing which is something we really wanted to achieve...we love all music from 60's, from girl bands to classical to rock to electronic so hopefully this spirit of freedom will be felt by people who hear it.
Eleftheria Zavalis:
Through all of these years of your music career, what is the thing that gives you the power to continue doing more and more things?
Craig Walker:
The thrill of writing is as strong as ever... the feeling of creating something that didn't exist before is amazing. Its something i think you never lose or if you do its better to quit.
Eleftheria Zavalis:
What are your impressions about "YOUR Music" ?
Craig Walker:
Good effort, keep up the good work!
