Making a very welcome return to The Wesley Centre in Maltby on Friday 17th April are Megson. Four 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.
Combining an infectious mix of heavenly vocals, lush harmonies and driving rhythmic guitars and comprising Debs Hanna (vocals, whistle, piano accordion) and Stu Hanna (guitar, mandola, banjo), Megson have gained fame on the British folk scene, not only for their arresting and intelligent songwriting, but for their exquisite musicianship and northern humour. They have recorded 13 studio albums across their 20-year career, gaining four- and five-star reviews from the Guardian, Mojo, the Telegraph, Uncut and the Financial Times, whilst the Observer pronounced them ‘A force in the folk revival’.
Now they are back doing what they do best, on the road promoting a new studio album ‘What Are We Trying To Say’. Catch them if you can. Advance tickets are £18.00 and available from The Wesley Centre reception on 01709 811118 or online (with booking fee) at http://www.wegottickets.com.
