“Audience participation is usually a given”
Say Hello to The Gherkins
Brothers, Glenn and Grant Davison each bring a unique character to their performance as The Gherkins. Dressed in their signature green suits, brightly coloured bow ties – topped with one of their many ‘interesting’ hats: Audiences are quickly wooed by the feel-good philosophy, charm and quick wit that both bring to the stage as seasoned entertainers.
The Dynamic Duo
Glenn and Grant are no newcomers when it comes to live performance. Since the 80’s Grant has been passionately involved in the local music scene in and around Hull and completed a music degree in 2007. Over the last 20 years, Glenn has made numerous TV appearances in popular cooking shows and won Ch4’s ‘Come Dine With Me’ (Hull) in 2011 as well as appearing in 3 feature films.

Why booking a band for a funeral is becoming very popular?
Today almost 50% of all funerals are ‘Humanistic’ (non-religious) and provides a unique opportunity to create something special and memorable for both the service and reception (wake). Read the full article by clicking the heading above.
When the Gherkins played at Jo’s funeral wake it lifted the spirits of everyone there. We had always wanted the event to be a celebration of life and an opportunity to talk and share happy memories. The Gherkins brought an infectious enthusiasm for music with songs that everyone both knew and loved. The songs they played were both well-chosen and performed and struck a chord with everyone, young or old, who was there. Both my daughter and I feel that their music, humour and energy made a massive difference to what everyone there agreed was a most memorable and positive tribute to Jo.

Big Plans & New Auditions for 2018
Late in 2017, The Gherkins were given a unique opportunity to showcase their talents by successfully beating over 1000 other entrants during the auditions for a new BBC singing show. (to be aired early 2018). This amazing experience has opened lots of doors for them in 2018 and preparations are now underway to expand their performance schedule and ‘brand’ the Gherkins across the UK and beyond.
