We very much look forward to welcoming you on board.With actor Crawford Logan, pianist Joan Taylor, and cellist Susan Smart.Crawford Logan
Having trained at the Webber Douglas Academy in London, Crawford has gone on to become one of Scotland’s most popular and respected actors both in theatre and particularly as a radio actor for 50 years.
However, 3 West End shows and appearing with Tom Baker in “Dr Who” do nothing to diminish the pleasure of working with musicians. These include the Carducci Quartet, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Red Note Ensemble, the Thomas Tallis Society and touring a programme about Clara Schumann with the pianist Reiko Fujisawa among many others.
More recently he was The Wizard in Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s production of The Wizard of Oz and Scrooge in the Lyceum’s A Christmas Carol.
Crawford has recorded many audiobooks both commercially and for RNIB Talking Books. He is also very proud to have directed several shows in Cornton Vale Prison.Joan Taylor - Piano
