A MULTI-award-winning guitarist will return to the region next week (Friday, March 21).

Chantel McGregor, the first female artist to be crowned Guitarist of the Year at the British Blues Awards last August, will appear at the Gala Theatre, Durham City, on Friday, March 21.

Bradford-born, McGregor has been compared to guitar legends such as Jimi Hendrix.

She said: “Playing live to great audiences is one of the most wonderful feelings.

“I feel so luck to be able to do something that I love, see the world and bring happiness to others through my music.”

The Durham show starts at 7.30pm. Tickets, priced £13, can be booked at the Gala box office, by calling 03000-266-600 or online at galadurham.co.uk
