A BRAND NEW product; a CD-ROM or download of all the songs called "Sing it!" is available. This CD-ROM or download can teach the songs to the children without any teacher input. Children can use it at school or at home - think of the time it will save you! Most schools use it in class on an interactive white board or in the school hall on the overhead projector to allow full cast practice. Children LOVE learning this way and the product is foolproof.

Rock Bottom
"Another brilliant show from Craig Hawes! Our Year 5 and 6 had a blast putting this together and we even managed to extend the script to nearly 65 speaking parts by having 2 sets of Eggheads and 9 Time keepers! I think the songs are some of the best yet being both catchy and clever! As usual the script is fast moving and jam- packed with truly terrible puns! Thank you ."Hannah Mann, Whiteley Primary School, Fareham, Hampshire
Rock Bottom
"You'd be mad not to buy this - yet another hilarious hit from Craig Hawes. It's a laugh-a-minute show, with jokes for all ages strewn in cleverly along the way. The songs are catchy and easy to pick up; you'll be singing them for weeks afterwards! Our Year 3 & 4 children had a fantastic time rehearsing and performing this super show and they (and their audiences) will remember it for years to come. Fred Flinstone eat your heart out!"Laura Mitchell, Oak Farm Junior School, Hillingdon

"We absolutely loved this show. The most fun we've ever had rehearsing. Went down a storm with children and parents and the songs are so catchy that the whole school are singing them! Well done Craig Hawes another smash hit. Thank you!!"Miss E Holloway, Margaret Roper RC Primary School, Purley, Surrey

"We performed this hilarious production with all our KS2 children and it was a huge success! We split the show into two halves with an interval, which worked perfectly. Children and adults loved the humour and the Stone Age theme, and the songs are just superb! Rock Bottom really rocks!"Pete Delafield, St. Luke's Primary, Shireoaks

"Our Year 5s had a blast with this show. Such a clever, funny, fast-moving script, brilliantly catchy songs and so easy to costume! Great fun from beginning to end - I think this is my new favourite Craig Hawes show!"Jessica Chambers, Sparken Hill Academy, Worksop
