"Blistering..." (T&A) "Compelling..." (Blues Matters) "Awesome!" (Blues in Britain)
By common consent Chantel McGregor is a leading contender for Yorkshire's next 'big name' singer - which makes her the ideal premiere act for the new FREEWHEELIN’ series of concerts at Dean Clough that promises to deliver the very best in live, contemporary acoustic music.
With over 80 gigs booked this year alone (and fresh from the main stage at the Cambridge Rock Festival), Chantel’s outstanding guitar technique and superb voice have established a devoted following – covering the likes of Jethro Tull, Blind Faith, Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, and Bonnie Raitt.
Having started to play the guitar at the age of 7, Chantel went on to perform regularly with local blues-rock bands by the age of 12. The holder of Leeds College of Music’s prestigious ‘Outstanding Musicianship’ award for 2006/7, she formed her own band in early 2007, completing her music degree in 2009 with First Class Honours.
Chantel McGregor is now one of the rising stars of today’s British Blues-Rock scene, performing internationally both with her band and solo.

The Game by Harold Brighouse
Barrie Rutter directs and performs in this brilliant Northern comedy about love, honour, class … and football! Written by Harold Brighouse (author of the much loved Hobson’s Choice) it’ll be the first time this play has seen the light of day in nearly 100 years. Set in Northern England 1913, this funny and heart-warming play evokes a time when football players were working class heroes and love between the classes was frowned upon. Suitable for all ages.
The Viaduct. Previews Thu 16 & Sat 18 Sept. Then from Wed 20 – Sat 23 October. Tickets from £12.50.
ASK BOX OFFICE ABOUT THE SPECIAL ‘100 YEARS OF FOOTBALL’ EVENT with BARRIE and the CAST on Thu 21.

George Orwell’s 1984
Rally your friends and family and start making plans for two brilliant and oh-so-different Broadsides productions this Autumn.
George Orwell’s 1984
Fresh from his marvellous The Canterbury Tales, Conrad Nelson directs a thrilling adaptation of Orwell’s masterpiece, 1984. This thought-provoking and emotionally compelling story demands a whole new creative direction from the company. Live action, exciting new animation, archive footage and a stirring soundscape all combine to create a technologically brilliant and highly inventive production. Suitable for 14+.
The Viaduct. Wed 13 – Sat 16 October. Tickets from £12.50.
