Chantel McGregor

Chantel McGregor plays Joe Joe Jims on Saturday 21 November, her only Birmingham date of the 2026 tour. She's an award-winning rock guitarist and singer-songwriter, and this is a full band performance, not a solo one. If you've seen her before, it's worth keeping that in mind: she does a handful of 'solo acoustic' dates on this tour, but this isn't one of them. This is the full band set, so you'll get the guitar and the vocals backed by a proper rhythm section rather than just her and an acoustic guitar.

As a guitarist, she's the one leading the night, and as a singer-songwriter, she's the one writing the songs she's playing. The two roles sit side by side here: the guitar work gets as much space as the singing. It's rock music that keeps the guitar at the front, and since she's the one doing both, the playing and the songwriting come from the same place. That's the core of what she does, and it's what you'll hear on the night.

Joe Joe Jims is in the B45 8UU postcode, and the show starts at 19:00. Tickets start from £19.80, so if you're planning to go, it's worth getting yours sorted in advance.
