Craig Scott (singer)

Scott was born in 1950 and grew up in Dunedin, where he was educated at King's High School. After leaving school, he found work as a bank clerk at the National Bank, where he stayed for 2½ years. ==Singing career==

Scott began his music career in the late 1960s, singing with the local Dunedin band Klap. In 1968, Scott joined the band The Fantasy which shortly thereafter moved from Dunedin to Christchurch. Other singles included ''Let's Get A Little Sentimental; Smiley'' (a cover of Australian pop star Ronnie Burns's hit); Ciao Baby (1971) which was previously covered by Lynne Randell for a top ten hit in Australia (1967); and When Jojo Runs. On 27 February 1973, Scott married Joanne Rowe at Caversham Presbyterian Church. In 1974, Happen Inn was cancelled and Scott began to lose popularity. ==Retirement from performing and later life==

Scott retired from performing in the late 1970s, saying "I couldn't see myself doing that for the next 20 years". He became a music promoter. He then started New Zealand's first video rental business before managing Warner Brothers Video New Zealand for 15 years. In 2001, Scott and his wife moved back to Dunedin. ==References==
