Musician Chantel McGregor will be headlining at The Tree House on Sunday 8th September from 7pm, as part of her UK tour.
A female guitar prodigy at 14, Chantel was told by major labels that she had a “great voice, but girls don’t play guitar like that.” Ignoring the comments, she enrolled at the Leeds College of Music and became the first student in the college’s history to achieve a 100% pass mark with 18 distinctions. Chantel left with a First-Class Honours degree in popular music, and the college’s musician of the year award.
She has since built a loyal fan base with her blend of blues-rock, leading to the release of her albums “Like No Other” and “Like Control.”
When Chantel released her 2011 debut album, one critic said, “Chantel McGregor deserves to be held up as a messiah of blues-rock and given her own mountain. She doesn’t strum or pick her guitar but almost bends and distorts it, as if she’s channelling the ghost of Hendrix through her fingers.”
Tickets cost £18 plus a booking fee if booked in advance. More information about the event and ticket purchases can be found at https://www.cheeseandgrain.com/events/chantel-mcgregor.
