Topic: Chantel McGregor Mountain Time
Hi there everybody. I've finally managed to upload this little video for you. I don't know why it kept failing but eventually when I used internet with no add-ons it worked. Anyway, I saw that Chantel was appearing at the Old Tramshed in Saltaire on 28th April which is just down the road from me and even though I had to be up for work the following morning (starting at 6.30) I went along for the show.
I went over to speak to her just before she started and had a sneaky look at the set list. One Of These Days was to be the opener and Had To Cry Today, A New Day Yesterday and Mountain Time were all in there. Also included were numbers by Cream, Hendrix and Robin Trower.
When she saw me she said 'Hey, I know you. I stood next to you at the Cockpit. You're Tripsy from the forum'. (these young'uns have good memories!). We had a little chat and I asked her if it was ok if I took some video and would she say hi to the forum. She said 'yes'.
I tell you what, she plays with great enthusiasm in fact she must have broken about 8 plectrums, 4 on ANDY alone. She is a great player and if she makes a mistake just smiles and shrugs it off. She's a really down to earth Yorkshire lass and I really enjoyed the night.
Her bass player and drummer were very good too.
I didn't get home til midnight but what the heck. Hope you like this video
