MEGSON
– Headgate Theatre, Colchester
Fri 26 Sep
7:30pm

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 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’.
