Three times nominated in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and double winners of the
Spiral Earth Awards Megson draw heavily on their Teesside heritage to create a truly
unique brand of folk music.

Accordion) and Stu Hanna (Guitar, Mandola, Banjo) Megson have gained fame on
the British folk scene, not only for their arresting & intelligent songwriting, but for
their exquisite musicianship and northern humour. As fRoots Magazine puts it ‘if you
don’t like the music here then you have a problem’ .
Summer 2016 saw the release of their much anticipated new studio album
GOOD TIMES WILL COME AGAIN gaining them much critical acclaim. “One of the most
original political folk sets of the year. Ewan MacColl would have been impressed.”
said The Guardian. “Relevant, thought-provoking songs that would make
Woody Guthrie proud” said Acoustic Magazine. While folk broadcasting legend
Mike Harding described it as “One of the top albums of 2016.”.
