British Musician, songwriter and award winning ditzy blonde (not sure which the awards were for), Chantel McGregor presents her podcast ‘Tel Tales’ Since Chantel is an avid fan of real ales, cats, music, food and Yorkshire, expect drunken, flat cap wearing cats, dancing to proper music whilst eating chips with gravy (only joking - the cat didn’t enjoy the Pawsecco)!

9-42 is the podcast from the team behind The Guitar Show, the UK's biggest annual guitar event. I'm Jason, and when I am not co-hosting this podcast I am trying to organise the next Guitar Show. The other co-host is Ant, we've known each other for years and he's the fella that pressured me in to doing this. Each episode we will endeavour to bring you the stories behind the gear, to talk to the artists, the influencers and the manufacturers that keep us playing and loving the guitar. This pod ...

The one where we find out a lot about merch. There was never much doubt about what Rebecca wanted to do when she grew up. Playing and gigging from an early age, she performed her own material influenced by a wide range of artists. And to be honest she has never looked back, even picking her degree course to fit in with her playing schedule. We get …

The one where we talk about how writing songs can resemble a visit to Yo Sushi! One of the things that is so enjoyable about the people we chat to on 9-42, is the unique nature of a modern career in the music industry. Take Craig, his first band Romeo's Daughter end up having their debut album produced by the legendary Mutt Lange, at a point in tim…

The one where we were supposed to talk a little bit more about guitars. If you are a West Bromwich Albion fan (as Jason is) then you are probably now doing a bit of a double-take, as you read the name of our most current 9-42 guest. Peter has near-legendary status both on and off the field for the Baggies, but that is just a scratch on the surface …

The one where we found out why Blair never eats his tea at the table. What can we say about Blair Dunlop, well lets start with the fact that neither of us knew a great deal about him before his appearance at The Guitar Show this year, other than he plays a bit, writes a bit, and sings songs. All that changed as a result of two seismic events, a leg…

The one where we talked about Stetsons and Resonators. You have probably been wondering where we have been for the last few weeks, and you know what that is a really good question. So good in fact that we decided we needed to ask it out loud. Cue a mildly entertaining (if very predictable) story of plane rides and palm trees, bunk-beds and buttersc…

The one where we drag Pete away from his birthday cake. We have spoken to a lot of artists over the last three years or so of doing 9-42, but there aren't many who can say that they have been with their current band for over forty years. Pete was drafted into Marillion in 1982, just at the point where they were about to break through and become one…

The one where we talked about the mechanics of surname pronunciation.

So it was…

The one where we talk to a picture of Irene Ketikidi. This is a really interesting episode of 9-42, but not necessarily for the reason you maybe thinking. It's not because Irene is a highly accomplished player, with both a considerable technical understanding and a passion for a number of musical style, though she does. It's not because she has gai…

The one where Chantel invites us into her wardrobe. If ever anybody knew what they wanted to do, and how they wanted their life to pan out, then that person is Chantel McGregor. You don't need to spend much time in her presence to realise that playing guitar, recording music and performing onstage was woven into her DNA. We had a funny, fascinating…

The one where we start Season 3 with some bloke from Barnsley. I think it's fair to say that Andy Crowley is very focussed on what he does. Known to millions as Andy Guitar, he has achieved success by coming up with a teaching concept that makes sense - and then repeating the formula without getting distracted. As you will hear it could all have be…

The one where we chatted with the bass player from Thunder. As Chris says himself there is very little he hasn't done in his time as a professional musician. Known to many because of his work in the aforementioned UK Rockers, he has had a varied career covering a number of musical genres, in a eclectic mix of locations. And you know what, it makes …

The one where we talked all things acoustic with Rosie Heydenrych. A passion for music, and an outlet for self-expression, is what brings a lot of people to the guitar, particularly in your late teens. In that respect what drew Rosie to the acoustic is not especially ground-breaking or unique. What is somewhat unique though is the determination and…

The one where Jared cut a lot of long stories short. To call Jared a 'guitarist in the blues-rock tradition' would technically be fairly accurate, but also would do him a bit of a dis-service, there is a lot going on with both him and his music that pushes back against that kind of labelling. Indeed you don't need to spend any more than 49 minutes …
