Best Chantel McGregor Podcasts (2024)

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 …

9-42 meets Craig Joiner 52:05

Play Pause

2M ago52:05

52:05

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…

9-42 meets Peter Odemwingie 58:00

3M ago58:00

58:00

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 …

9-42 meets Blair Dunlop 1:07:22

5M ago1:07:22

1:07:22

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…

9-42 and a tale of two shows 30:55

6M ago30:55

30:55

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…

9-42 meets Pete Trewavas 53:55

7M ago53:55

53:55

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…

9-42 meets Digital John 48:20

8M ago48:20

48:20

The one where we talked about the mechanics of surname pronunciation. John Connearn was one of the highlights from the Live Stage at the Guitar Show last year, as you would expect his performance was flawless - but what really impressed was an assured and confident delivery that held the attention of the room without ever dropping a beat. So it was…

9-42 meets Irene Ketikidi 1:03:55

8M ago1:03:55

1:03:55

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…

9-42 meets Chantel McGregor 54:55

9M ago54:55

54:55

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…

9-42 meets Andy Guitar 1:00:36

9M ago1:00:36

1:00:36

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…

9-42 meets Chris Childs 46:27

1+ y ago46:27

46:27

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 …

9-42 meets Turnstone Guitars 45:02

1+ y ago45:02

45:02

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…

9-42 Festive Special 25:18

1+ y ago25:18

25:18

The one where we had to change our plans a bit. Think of this as a bit of a festive bonus, like a little twinkly adornment for your tree, or an extra satsuma in your stocking. So if you need a brief respite from the Christmas Day shenanigans, here is 25 minutes of 9-42 blather wrapped a few little updates and need-to-knows. There is very little ext…

9-42 meets Jared James Nichols 48:55

1+ y ago48:55

48:55

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 …

9-42 meets Steve Lawson 57:52

1+ y ago57:52

57:52

The one where Ant surprised everybody with his knowledge of Ableton... According to Bass Guitar magazine Steve is 'Britains most innovative bass guitarist'. According to Steve he is a Bassist, Journalist and Academic. According to us he is a very fascinating, very passionate, very lovely bloke. Over the course of the episode we (of course) delve in…

9-42 meets Kauer Guitars 1:02:41

2y ago1:02:41

1:02:41

The one where we scatted about all over the place with Doug Kauer. Even though we chatted for well over an hour, it will take you no more than a few moments to realise that Doug is a real character. Firstly up is the fact that he bounds into the conversation with all the energy of Tigger, and all the breathless delivery of Jim Carrey. And secondly …

9-42 meets ATB Guitars 52:08

2y ago52:08

52:08

The one where we learnt a load about buying & selling Vintage guitars. I think it's fair to say we would all like to be making a living in the same way that Mike Long does. Mike formed ATB Guitars in 1998 and since then he has been half way around the world on the trail of the kind of guitars most of us can only dream of. To date nearly 5000 instru…

9-42 meets CJ Wildheart 58:44

58:44

The one where Jason has a crack at doing the Intro (and he makes a reasonable job of it...) Before we even getting going, man has CJ done some stuff. The conversation about his career rips along at a fair old pace as there is literally so much to cram in. CJ is probably best known as being one of the founding members of the Wildhearts, which he for…

1:00:15

The one where Guy kicked off a whole new season. You might have been wondering why you hadn't been getting your regular fix of 9-42, well the truth is we had a little break over the summer which gave us time to recharge, regroup and plan a whole new second season. And what a way to start, with guitarist and singer Guy Griffin. Guy is well known as …

The one where we finally got around to chatting about the music. From the age of five Sophie knew that the guitar would play some part in her life. During her teens she established herself both on stage and in the studio, as well as a renowned guitar teacher. Just prior to the pandemic she shifted her focus to the online world, amassing a huge foll…

9-42 meets Billy Watman 47:50

2y ago47:50

47:50

The one where we talk chord positions & voicing. If you have been to The Guitar Show over the last couple of years you will probably have seen Billy play, And if you have you will have been blown away, not just with the incredible ability but the richness and musicality of the arrangements of the songs he performs. In 2016, he reached the grand fin…

9-42 meets Danish Pete 49:49

2+ y ago49:49

49:49

The one where Ant grabbed Danish Pete just as he got off stage. Pete Honoré probably didn't realise to what extent his life would change when he accepted a job with Andertons in 2015. As a well regarded touring musician he has played with the likes of Tom Jones, Paloma Faith & Girls Aloud and never really expected to end up as Youtube personality &…

The one where (amongst other things) we chatted about what it was like having an ex-Police Man as your boss. Rufus was in Paris when we spoke, just finishing rehearsals for a six month stint on the road with Sting, his first major road-trip since lockdown. We talked about what he had been doing to keep himself busy, making music with his sister, an…

9-42 meets Tom Ford 52:40

2+ y ago52:40

52:40

The one where we both got a bit over-excited about Tom's house. The main reason we wanted to get Tom onto 9-42 was to talk about his new EP, finally recorded and finished during lockdown, and due out this week. And we did indeed talk about that quite a bit, but even before that point, it got a little out of hand. We won't give any more away, other …

9-42 meets Rich Watson 52:14

2+ y ago52:14

52:14

The one that got all eighties-tastic. Well this was a blast. When he isn't messing about with Metal Detectors (and playing in far too many bands to keep track of) Rich will normally be creating content for his Youtube channel 'Session Heroes'. Rich has been fascinated with this community of behind-the-scenes guitar virtuosos for quite a while, and …

The one where Jason had a very intellectual chat with the guitarist from Sleeper. Jon completed his PhD in 2018, and over the last few years has been working on expanding his thesis into a book. The result is Dylan, Lennon, Marx & God which was published late in 2021. In this extended chat Jon talks Jason through his academic journey, how it has be…
