Brett's also a TV presenter, specialising in live music stuff, but can also be seen presenting "You Can't Say That", a live comedy panel show on Sky channel 186.
While working at RedTV Brett was asked to perform on a talent show, usually reserved for young cabaret acts, called "Maddie's Got Talent". Brett reluctantly agreed. This was the result...

''...his style is unique, yet each song contains melodic hooks that stick in your head long after the first listen... lyrics effortlessly peel away the layers of superficiality involved in everyday life, whilst avoiding the cliches inherent in this type of songwriting... his vocal is honest, heartfelt and distinctive, and reassures you that he believes every one of his well chosen words.''
