FACT! - Norfolk gig promotions company "The Tilting Sky" is named after Craig "Tilting Craig" Sky's experiences during his first ever paid job; which was working for Hasbro, the toy manufacturer, as a life-sized "Weeble", advertising the "won't fall down" egg-shaped childrens toy in shopping centres, during the product's launch in the summer of 1971.
For 8 hours each day Mr Sky was stuffed into a giant egg attached to a spring, and wobbled from side to side (without falling down of course!) by excited children, until he was sick all over himself. And then he was wobbled some more, just for fun..
As he queasily gazed out of the small eyeholes in the side of the egg, all he could see was, you guessed it, the sky..
Tilting...

And that my friend, was the start of the legend that is, Craig "Tilting Craig" Sky!
