Edinburgh, Scotland — Sunday saw Chantel McGregor, voted Best Blues Guitarist at the British Blues Awards, headlining in The Caves.  Wikinewsie Brian McNeil took along his camera to capture this remarkable  young Yorkshire musician playing live. The previous evening saw her playing in Glasgow, with the current tour hitting Morecambe yesterday, Bristol's The Tunnels on Wednesday, and Derby on Thursday. 
Supporting Chantel were local, self-styled "Rootsy/Country/Soul" three-piece The Rising Souls. Despite The Caves — which local lore claims is haunted — being buried in the city's Cowgate, their percussionist was playing a Cajón; often-seen in the city as musicians try to avoid running foul of the City of Edinburgh Council's licensing board, and risking venues being closed down over as-little as a single noise complaint.
