Craig Charles to host and DJ at Greater Manchester Chamber Annual Business Dinner 2016

Craig Charles has been confirmed as the host/DJ for next year’s Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce Annual Business Dinner.

The event will take place at Victoria Warehouse on Thursday 19 May 2016 and has been billed as a “wholehearted celebration of the quality and diversity of Greater Manchester business.”

In 2016, for the first time, the event will contain an “after dinner party” element at which Craig Charles will do a funk and soul DJ set.

Well known to Greater Manchester audiences, actor, comedian, author, poet, television presenter and DJ, Craig Charles is perhaps best known for playing Dave Lister in the science fiction sitcom Red Dwarf and Lloyd Mullaney in the soap opera Coronation Street and as a funk and soul DJ.

Mr Charles has hosted The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on BBC radio since 2002, and performs DJ sets at numerous clubs and festivals, nationally and internationally. In September 2015, he left Coronation Street after ten years, to film new episodes of Red Dwarf.
