ROCKING BREWERY: Saxon's Graham Oliver and Chantel McGregor to headline upcoming gigs with support from 4 for Quo

A BREWERY with a growing live reputation has booked in two more acts expecting to get the venue rocking.

Graham Oliver’s Army, featuring former Saxon guitarist Graham Oliver and Son frontman Bri Shaughnessy, are back at Chantry Brewery on Saturday, with support from Status Quo tribute band 4 for Quo.

And on May 13, acclaimed guitarist Chantel McGregor will headline the brewery tap.

Bri said the band were hoping for a successful return, adding: “It was our band’s debut gig with the new-line up last November so we’re hoping for a repeat of the great turn out on the night.”

They have big plans for the year, with a headlining slot at

Heaven & Hull in May, shows in Lancaster and Bradford and a mini-tour to Japan in June.

“Oliver Dawson Saxon (Oliver’s previous band) played in Tokyo just before the pandemic and were due to go back but then Covid struck, so it will be the Army who heads out this time to debut there,” said Brian.

Chantel McGregor is a former guitar prodigy who has built a strong live reputation and worked with the likes of music legend Joe Bonamassa, on two of his UK tours.

She has gone on to release and perform on several albums, including one paying tribute to another much-loved named, Dr John, and two collections of songs performed online during lockdown, which she titled Shed Sessions”.

Tickets are priced at £10 in advance for Graham Oliver’s Army and £18.70 for Chantel McGregor and are available on 01709 382581 for tickets or online at by searching seetickets.com for Chantry Brewery Tap Bar.
