Megson feat. John Parker
Advance Price: £19
Four times nominated in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and double winners of the Spiral
Earth Awards MEGSON create a truly unique brand of
folk music.
Combining an infectious mix of
heavenly vocals, lush harmonies and driving rhythmic guitars, MEGSON have
gained a reputation not only for their arresting & intelligent songwriting,
but also for their exquisite musicianship and northern humour. Comprising Debs
Hanna (Vocals, Whistle, Piano Accordion) and Stu Hanna (Guitar, Mandola, Banjo)
MEGSON have been described as as “the most original duo on the British folk
scene” by THE GUARDIAN and as FROOTS Magazine puts it ‘if you don’t
like the music here then you have a problem’.
Liking to keep busy, MEGSON have recorded thirteen studio
albums across their twenty year career gaining four & five star reviews
from THE GUARDIAN,
MOJO, THE TELEGRAPH, UNCUT, THE FINANCIAL TIMES whilst THE OBSERVER pronounced them ‘A force in the
folk revival’. Even lockdown 2020 couldn’t hold them back as they performed a
hugely popular series of live stream concerts to their growing army of
followers.
And during all this time, Stu even managed to be
involved with other artists producing & recording award winning music for
SHOW OF HANDS, ODETTE MITCHEL, LUCY WARD, FAUSTUS & THE YOUNG’UNS.
Now they embark on a new adventure; their first full UK
tour featuring double bass legend John Parker (Nizlopi) in conjunction with a
brand new EP out in Spring 2025.
