There are not many 20-year-old northern lads who spent their adolescence daydreaming of singing like Sinatra on their local clubs circuit. But then again, there are not many 20-year-old northern lads who combine a voice worthy of Tony Bennett and looks that wouldn’t seem out of place in a Paul Smith ad. In short, there are not many lads like Peter Grant, in the north or anywhere else.
“I think it’s because I started singing so young,” laughs Peter when you mention the confusion that comes trying to match up this regular teenage lad to a voice so smooth, assured and stylish, that it will literally have you turning the CD over in your hands to check you haven’t put the wrong one in. “I’ve been singing since I was six or seven and I was doing working men’s clubs from the age of about 13,” he laughs. “I suppose I loved the attention though I’ve always been passionate about the music side of it.”
