Brent McGillen Entertainment

Canterbury

On Friday 7th Feb my brother's music equipment was stolen from the back of his Ute from the venue he had just done a gig at.

The guys who did this spent over five minutes jamming into the lock on the back of the Ute which is a Ute hard cover purposely brought for its added security for all the gear being carted around.

It did not trigger the alarm on the Ute.

He has lost everything speakers, microphones, amps, channel mixers, lights, all cables for all of the gear, extra pieces like extension cords little bits that you don't even realize guitar picks, extra batteries, rechargeable batteries, his battery charger for the microphones.

He has been working hard for the past two years to get his entertainment business up and running doing gigs all over Canterbury and most recently regular gigs in the West Coast.

to have all of his gear stolen has left him with absolutely nothing to be able to continue to take on any more gigs until everything is replaced.

Singing and entertaining is his passion, the joy he gets from entertaining is unexplainable the happiness he brings to the crowd, the way he interacts with the crowd is outstanding.

Brent is disheartened that someone could take his whole world away in a matter of minutes but plans to be back doing what he loves as soon as possible so let's give him a helping hand.

Get Brent back up singing and boot scooting!!
