July 30th 2007 - Aubrey sings for Kylie Minogue
Aubrey performs every Sunday at The St. David's Hotel and Spa in Cardiff bay. The Cardiff bay area is often used for location filming for Dr. Who and Torchwood and the 2007 Xmas edition of Dr. Who is currently being filmed in the bay. Kylie Minogue will appear as the Doctors assistant in this years special (Aubrey's wife 'Mez' appeared as the body double for Catherine Tate in last years Xmas special.) The pint sized Aussie goddess (who herself has Welsh roots) popped in for a spot of lunch at the hotel yesterday when Aubrey was performing. Unfortunately she wasn't lucky enough to get to meet the man himself as he had to rush off for another engagement.

January 30th 2007

My prayers go out to fellow performer Johnny Quick who was involved in a car accident on Saturday night. John is an amazing performer and has been blessed with a fantastic voice. He is currently in a critical condition in hospital - my heart goes out to him and his family and the family of Johnny's roadie who sadly did not survive the accident. I pray that we may yet sing together again mate. Get well soon John, the world needs guys like you.

Aubrey seeking a manager
The time has come for Aubrey to bite the bullet and take on a manager. The high level of gigs and TV appearances which are constantly increasing means Aubrey is now actively looking for a manager to help him co-ordinate his work. Ideally the person would be South Wales or London based and have experience in managing bands or solo acts. The right person must be highly productive and highly motivated and prepared to push Aubrey to the next level. If you are that person or you know someone that is then please contact us on: 01446 754350

Aubrey in the Guardian & Sunday Express
 Yes it's true whilst some of the British newspapers reviews of the BBC TV show 'How to improve your memory' did not exactly set the world on fire, the reviewers did seem to like Aubrey! Here is a snippet of Nancy Banks-Smith review in the Guardian on Thursday 10th August 2006...

"I did, however, like Aubrey, a singer fondly known in Wales as the Ginger Growler. He couldn't remember the words of his songs and carried them on a surreptitious piece of paper. I believe Dusty Springfield developed those extravagant gestures so she could read the lyrics written on her hands. Come on, Ginger! Give us a burst of Unforgettable."
(Reproduced from the Guardian Web site full link here: www.Guardian.co.uk
The reviewer for the Sunday Times also referred to Aubrey as 'The next Bryn Terfel'
You can now watch all of the clips from the show in the Audio & Video section of the site.


Bui Doi Audio & Video now in Audio & Video Section
Following a number of requests from people who watched Aubrey on the BBC television program 'How to improve your memory' we have posted up the version that Aubrey recorded on the show and a separate audio version recorded as a result of the show. It's not the best quality, but we promise there will be a better version recorded soon with the help of David Beer (Musical director on the West End versions of 'Fame' and 'Jesus Christ Superstar' etc) who accompanied Aubrey on piano during the show. Your comments are greatly appreciated.
 
See Aubrey perform on national BBC1- Wed August 9th 8pm
Aubrey is one of the people featured on the BBC's 'How to improve your memory' programme which is being shown this Wednesday August 9th at 8pm on BBC1. He will be seen learning a new memory technique to help him learn lyrics and will close the show with a live rendition of 'Bui Doi' a song from Miss Saigon.
Aubrey was followed around for almost a month by a BBC camera crew and ended up singing at the end of the show which was filmed at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and Longleat House (Which was re-named 'Memory Mansion' for the event).
Set your TV recorders now for this interesting look at how our memories work and see how Aubrey gets on with the new learning techniques... This is prime time viewing, so tell all your mates!

A rather exciting and new twist is unfolding in Aubrey's musical career. Aubrey is currently recording a number of tracks for release later this year with legendary producer Gary Bromham. Gary has worked with George Michael and has co-written and produced with Sheryl Crow to name but a few.
'I'm really pleased that Gary has agreed to work with me on this project' said Aubrey. 'I've been saying to myself for a while now that 2006 will be the year everything kicks off and this is the first rung of that ladder. Working with Gary is an absolute pleasure - I can't believe how much we have managed to record already!'
Gary's studio is based in West London and has been impressed with Aubrey's output;
'I cannot believe that such a fantastic voice comes out of Aubrey's mouth! I have worked with literally hundreds of artists and Aubrey's talent shines out like a beacon. He obviously has the drive an determination to push himself into the centre stage of the music industry and I believe without a doubt that he will succeed.'
More details about this exciting project will be released soon.
