Chantel McGregor will perform at the Forest Arts in New Milton on October 16, as part of her UK tour promoting her third studio album The Healing, released last year. Known for her powerful vocals and guitar work, Ms McGregor is a familiar name on the UK touring circuit, having performed at major festivals and venues nationwide. Her latest album marks a shift in musical direction, moving from blues to darker, heavier rock with progressive influences. Chantel McGregor said: "This is definitely a rock album – not a blues album. "The song moves from heartbreak to clarity, shifting from the pain of betrayal to the strength of walking away."
