Chantel Mcgregor Rocking Temperance in October
Feature
One for your diaries for sure, the remarkable Chantel Mcgregor returns to Leamington Spa to perform at Temperance on Thursday 6th October.
Shy and so humble when talking to the audience/fans she springs into life when she plays and sings, a top notch guitarist with a wonderful voice she sure rocks up a storm everywhere she and her band performs.
I have seen her wow the crowds at rock festivals and in the more intimate venues she really brings them to life, she has two quality studio albums behind her as well as a live release and a lockdown album.
Here is my review from her last show I attended back in 2014 which was previously published in the "Classic Rock Society Magazine".
The photos along side this piece are from her gigs I was lucky enough to photograph.
CHANTEL McGREGOR
ZEPHYR LOUNGE, LEAMINGTON SPA - 6/9/14
Chantel chose this gig as a testing ground for new material, which went down a storm, she calls this her "New Era" and this ‘New Era' rocks especially on the high octane numbers like the ferocious 'Burn Your Anger' and 'Lose Control' while on the softer side her new offerings included an emotional tribute to Jeff Buckley on the sublime 'Eternal Dream'.
Plenty on offer from her cracking debut album including the epic title track 'Like No Other', the beautiful and exquisitely gentle 'Screams Everlasting', the upbeat and quirky pop touch of ‘Fabulous' and the knockout encore of epic rocker 'Freefalling'.
A young lady with breathtaking talent and many awards to her name, she has an incredible guitar style, a beautiful vocal tone and a quality band alongside her.
She also has a natural humble charm that has the audience eating out of her hand while the mix of full on rock material with interludes of gorgeous laid back pieces works so well.
