The IVR Gala Dinner 2012

'Best evening in years' 'Thoroughly enjoyed it' 'Brilliant night' 'Best IVR do ever' - this is just

some of the feedback following this year's IVR Gala Dinner.

Most of the praise must be laid at the door of Craig Harper, he was superb. His talent,

energy and ability to entertain a large crowd with his friendly manner is a true skill.

Craig's big break came when he appeared on Britain's Got Talent back in 2008 although he

had been working the club circuit for many years before that.

When he first appeared on BGT he took the panel by storm and received comments like

'Absolutely terrific act' from Simon Cowell, 'Marvellous, a breath of fresh air' Amanda Holden

and, even after being mimicked by Craig, Piers Morgan still said 'I think I prefer him to the

real Boyzone'.

He performed his famous Boyzone routine which had everyone applauding but is he a one

trick pony? Definitely not he can do impressions, tell jokes and stories but most of all this guy

can really sing.

Will he be back for the 30th anniversary dinner? We'll have to wait and see.
