Craig David to appear on JLGB Virtual
'Craig loves this charity', the artist's manager told young volunteers during an online Q&A session
‘Born To Do It’ singer Craig David will join members of a Jewish youth movement for a virtual Q&A session next month, his manager revealed.
The 39-year old will appear on the charity’s online programme JLGB Virtual on 3 August.
David’s manager and close-friend Colin Lester, 60, made the announcement while appearing on the online show yesterday.
When asked to nominate David as a future guest by 17 year-old JLGB volunteer Cidney Miller, Lester replied that he would do so and added that the singer was a “big fan” of the charity.
“Craig loves this charity. He’s a big fan of JLGB, as am I. He will come on, and I will sort the details out with the powers that be,” Lester said.
The music manager also told of his “frightening” brush with coronavirus.”Because it was early, none of us really knew whether it would be long-term, whether we’d end up in hospital,” he told the online show.
But Lester added that he had “got over” the virus and is now “back.”
Since March, JLGB Virtual has drawn more than 650,000 viewers and a series of high profile guests including TV presenter Rachel Riley and Labour peer Lord Michael Levy.
