» Profile

Taking you from the gentle but powerful sounds of the Rat Pack and Swing era, through the musicals, onto the sounds of Rock and Soul and right up to the current UK charts, Aubrey Parsons - The Great Ginger Growler - is one of the UK's most successful vocal entertainers today.

No matter what type of music you require, Aubrey has the voice and the show to accommodate. Fully self contained with PA, lighting, staging and over 5500 songs at his disposal he can croon out the Rat Pack or Rock out with Queen, Motorhead and The Darkness. Want an evening of Ska or hits from the 80s? How about a full on 70's retro disco night full of funky toons? Or mix it up with a little bit of everything to make sure all age groups are catered for!

Aubrey has been worked with the likes of The Stereophonics, The Who, Midge Ure, Big Country, The BBC, ITV and has performed session work with many bands and TV companies across the UK. He has been performing as a solo artist (as well has working regularly with a rock and soul band) for the past 20 years.

Just to give you an idea of how popular his show is, he performed at over 200 gigs during 2006 to an estimated 40,000 people!

No job too small and no venue too large. From living rooms to stadiums - Aubrey does them all.

» Testimonials

"Hi Aubrey!
We simply had to write to you to express our most sincere thanks for the way you performed at our wedding reception on the 27th August 2006.
You were quite simply amazing and without exception, every one of our guests with whom we have spoken since has said how fantastic you were. Everyone said that they had to keep looking at you as they could not believe that you were actually singing the songs and not playing the original CDs.
The tracks you selected were perfect for the spread of ages and you somehow managed to keep virtually the whole wedding party on the dance floor all night.
You managed to extend our already perfect day into a perfect night which we all loved and will never forget.
Without trying you gave us an extra special wedding gift of an amazing memory which we will treasure forever.
Thank you once again and we hope to see you again in the future."

"Dear Aubrey,
You sang at my wedding in March. Wanted to (very belatedly) say how fantastic you were. An absolute dream to book and hardly any organising needed by us (luckily!). The singing in the Church made the day feel as though it had a fabulous soundtrack, especially when we watch our DVD. I can't tell you how pleased we were, and how it really made our day extra special. Of course the evening was super, and so many of our guests commented on how great they thought you were. Thank you so much, you were absolutely marvellous and no hint of the prima donna (even when we clearly forgot to organise the refreshments properly) which came as a great relief when we were organising the wedding. Would fully recommend you to anyone - and have done so on those wedding forums full of mental bride to be's. Anyway cheers!
P.S Watched the entire program just to see you, again people congratulated us on our forseight of having a musical masterpiece at the wedding. Cheers for the reflected glory.)"
