Grant P. Chilcott

aka Wentworth Brewster
crooner in the style of
Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Tony Bennett
plus the Mambo Kings Latin band

Auckland Area

Grant P Chilcott
singer, bandleader and recording artist, also known as Wentworth Brewster, has for some considerable time, dedicated himself to the consummate of entertainment. From boyhood talent-quest winner right through to international performer G.P. has appeared in his inimitable style, either live or through the mediums of television, radio and compact disc, to thousands of people.

People can trust Grant Chilcott- his music is impeccable his taste the same. He provides music for dancing pleasure as well as listening pleasure and his repertoire is well nigh without limit.

No matter what the setting, the music of Grant Chilcott's ensembles are an integral part of the scene. Again and again the genial leader has provided his three to ten piece bands to lend harmony and grace to the scene.

Since his early teenage years Grant has been learning the songs of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin Tony Bennett and their contemporaries.

His playlist of 'classic' songs is headed by the masters of cool Gershwin, Porter, Arlen, Coward plus many others to a total repertory of over 2,000. All gathered from the 1920's, 30's, 40's,50's with an occasional infusion from the 60's and 70's.

Though Chilcott doesn't deny the popularity of other forms of music, he is firm in his attachment to that large sector of the public which craves old-fashioned romance and enjoys well-crafted songs.

Grant is available solo with backing tracks or with bands ranging from a duo (Grant and piano) through a quartet, quintet and ten piece. The size of the band varies according to your requirements and budget

MAMBO KINGS
Following a visit to Cuba in the late 1980's and meeting with musicians in Havana, Grant formed this band which performs authentic Latin American styles for dancing and listening pleasure: romantic boleros, rhumbas, beguines and bossa nova to hot and spicy salsa, cha cha cha, tango and samba. Their playlist includes the hits of Prez Prado, Sergio Mendes, Tito Puente, Harry Belafonte and Herb Alpert.

Splendidly attired in colorful frilled jackets a la Tropicanca the ensemble creates an atmosphere of gaiety.

Hi Pete
yes we were very happy with the entertainment at the cocktail party; you set the perfect tone for the occasion
many thanks
verity george Focus 2000 (June 2006)

Pete
Grant was excellent. As we expected he had a tough crowd, but despite the cacophony of inebriated larrikins Grant maintained his smooth, professional, stylish candour. Grant was exactly what we wanted in terms of sound, style and presentation with many attendees "getting into it" on the dance floor and singing along at their tables. All who attended had more than an appreciative word for the atmosphere he created, in what was a celebratory dinner for the guys who do it hard in the trench all year round.

Dear Pete,
All went well and Grant was as good as we had hoped.
His music and style added to our celebration.
Many thanks

Hi Pete,
Grant was great as usual. We had a great evening as well. It was a pity about the weather. We could not utilize our courtyard so all had to pack inside like sardines.

Tony (Vile) Party Feb 2004

Hi Pete,
Thank you so much for your follow-up message.
Grant's performance was great and well received by the 113 audience and so yes, we had a very successful day. We are looking forward to Adrian Keeling in May.
Many thanks for the most professional dealings we have had with Pete McGregor Music. After having a group not turn up at all for a high profile corporate event in February (and that organisation most certainly should have known better) I am most grateful that all your systems are so efficient and effective. Many thanks. I will most certainly continue to work with you as far as possible in the future. Your web page is great and I have recommended a group I know to contact you for your representation.

All the very best, Shelley (Kirton) Pumphouse Theatre March 2004

Hi Pete

Grant was absolutely brilliant! We thoroughly enjoyed his music and the guests were very impressed with him. The band looked very stylish, which fit in extremely well with our wedding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others, through you of course!

Thanks very much

Helen Loveridge (wedding March 2004)
