-Craig Gannon joined The Smiths between March and May of 1986, between the end of their early February shows in Ireland and before the May release of [[Bigmouth Strikes Again (single) | Bigmouth Strikes Again]].  He was originally recruited to play bass when [[Andy Rourke]] was dismissed from the band for a drug addiction.  This dismissal was short lived.  When Rourke returned to the band, Craig became the second guitarist.  His first live show with The Smiths was on [[Glasgow,_Scotland_1986-07-16_(The_Smiths_concert) | 16th July, 1986]].
-His final live show was on [[Manchester,_England_1986-10-30_(The_Smiths_concert)| 30th October, 1986]] at the Manchester Free Trade Hall.  He was dismissed from the band shortly afterwards.
-He has since composed music for film and television.
