Megson

Four times nominated in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and double winners of the Spiral Earth Awards MEGSON creates a truly unique brand of folk music.

Combining an infectious mix of heavenly vocals, lush harmonies and driving rhythmic guitars, MEGSON has gained a reputation not only for the duo’s arresting and intelligent songwriting, but also for the exquisite musicianship and northern humour. Comprising Debs Hanna (Vocals, Whistle, Piano Accordion) and Stu Hanna (Guitar, Mandola, Banjo) MEGSON has been described 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 has recorded 13 studio albums across their 20 year career gaining four and five star reviews from THE GUARDIAN, MOJO, THE TELEGRAPH, UNCUT, THE FINANCIAL TIMES whilst THE OBSERVER pronounced the duo “A force in the folk revival”. Even lockdown 2020 couldn’t hold Debs and Stu 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 and recording award winning music for SHOW OF HANDS, ODETTE MITCHEL, LUCY WARD, FAUSTUS and THE YOUNG’UNS.

Now they are back doing what they do best, on the road promoting a brand new  album MEGSON – LIVE ON TEESSIDE. Catch them if you can…
