Chantel McGregor is one of the most exciting guitarists in the UK!

At the age of eight Chantel became the youngest person in the country to pass a Rock school exam and at 12, she was jamming in her native Bradford and evolving into an incredible musician.

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 college’s 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's debut album, Like No Other, was produced by Livingstone Brown, who has worked with such artists as Tina Turner, Bryan Ferry, Robin Trower, ABC and Bill Withers and the end result, is a beautifully crafted compilation, that showcases her versatility and genuine talent, as a singer-songwriter!

Jamming on stage with Joe Bonamassa on two of his tours so far, Chantel is a formidable guitar player, a very talented singer-songwriter and her live performances are truly captivating!

A recent quote in Nightshift, Oxford's music magazine, reinforces this, "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"

In 2013, Chantel was voted Guitarist of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year. Winning four awards in the last three years in competition with highly regarded peers, is something to be extremely proud of in itself, but what a refreshing change and a justifiable first in the history of the British Blues Awards, that a female artist was voted Guitarist of the Year!!

In the Get Ready To Rock review of The Great British Rock & Blues Festival at in January 2014, Pete Feenstra stated that "Chantel McGregor arguably drew the biggest crowd of the festival, just as the air conditioning gave out. Her mix of shredding, tapping, blues, covers and ballads mesmerised the crowd".
