Chantel McGregor tickets and listings

Imagine the tone of Robin Trower, the inspiration of Hendrix, the influence of Stevie Ray Vaughan, the energy of Bonamassa and the intensity of Walter Trout all rolled into one........ then let me introduce Chantel McGregor, one of the most of exciting rock and blues musi...cians that the UK has ever produced! Described as a "prodigy", at 14 Chantel was told by major labels "great voice, but girls don't play guitar like that!" Wisely ignoring that advice she enrolled at the world-renowned Leeds College of Music and became the first student in the colleges history to achieve a 100% pass mark, with 18 distinctions. Chantel left with a First Class Honours degree in Popular Music and a coveted prize for outstanding musicianship. Chantel has since stepped out in the pro-musician world with her own rock blues trio and her stunning live performances are proving that this is rock blues for the new age, played by a musician born with an effortless virtuosity, peppered by flights of incendiary guitar and flanked by moments of poise, grace and fluidity... If you measure an artists prospects by the company they keep, then this Miss is clearly heading in the right direction, having been invited to perform on stage by Joe Bonamassa, the American blues star, on two of his tours so far! Chantel released her debut album, Like No Other earlier this year, and whilst this affirms her formidable skill with a guitar, it also showcases her genuine talent, as a singer-songwriter Moreover, what greater testament than to be part of a centenary album "100 Years of the Blues", that has recently been released worldwide, in the company of the all time greats, like Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, John Mayall & Blues Breakers and many more titans of rock blues!! It comes as no surprise therefore, that Chantel was voted Young Artist of the Year, in the British Blues Awards 2011. Dont miss out on seeing this incredible artist!
