Craig Gannon (born 30 July 1966) is an English guitar player, best known as the second guitarist in the Smiths (1986). He is now a composer for film and television.
Born in Manchester , Gannon had played in bands with friends since he was 12 years old, and in 1983 joined Aztec Camera after replying to an ad in Melody Maker [1] The Colourfield , and went on to join The Bluebells .[2] [3] bass player Andy Rourke was fired from the Smiths in early 1986, Gannon was hired to replace him. Within a fortnight, however, Rourke was reinstated and Gannon moved to rhythm guitar, becoming the official fifth member, playing on the "Panic " and "Ask " singles and touring the UK, Canada, and the US with the band. Gannon also played on the scrapped single "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby", which was included on The World Won't Listen [4]
After leaving the Smiths, Gannon joined Brix Smith in The Adult Net and Blue Orchids .[5] Morrissey at his debut solo gig and 1989 singles "The Last of the Famous International Playboys " and "Interesting Drug ",[6] Johnny Marr for nonpayment of wages and over the degree of his involvement in songwriting (notably for "Ask"). The matter was settled out of court for the sum of £44,000. This amount included £30,000 for unpaid wages and £14,000 in legal costs. Gannon composed the music used on the Inside The Smiths DVD, released by former Smiths Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke. In addition to this, Gannon also appeared in and composed the music for a classic albums DVD of The Queen Is Dead – released in May 2008.
In the mid-1990s, he was in the initial line-up of Black Grape .[7] Terry Hall , Roddy Frame , Alison Moyet , Denise Van Outen , Edwyn Collins , and Paul Quinn . He was also asked to join Orange Juice 's James Kirk and Steven Daly's band Memphis), Buzzcocks /FOC , Robert Lloyd , Deadly Avenger, Red Venom, Vinny Peculiar, and The Family Foundation. In 2014, Gannon was asked to play with The Specials but declined.
