Craig Black (co-owner of The Derby)

Craig worked on the Murdoch Mysteries for 5 seasons (2 through 7) as the lead lighting-technician. He also tried his hand at acting on the show, appearing as the Rail Porter in episode 405. Since moving on from MM, Craig has worked on several other TV series including Lost Girl, The Listener, Bomb Girls and Stanley Dynamic. In July of this year, he took on a project of an entirely different nature. He opened a pub called THE DERBY with his former lighting technician pal from the Murdoch days, Chris Watson. Together they approached their pal Thomas Craig about hosting a screening of an episode of Murdoch Mysteries. Voila! The rest is about to become history, as the date has been set and the torches are set to be lit!

Fun factoid: the sconces adorning the walls of THE DERBY were inspired by the atmospheric lighting they helped to create whilst working on the hit series.
