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 which combines an infectious mix of heavenly vocals, lush harmonies and driving rhythmic guitars.
Over the years, the duo of Debs (on vocals, whistle, piano accordion) and Stu Hanna (on guitar, mandola, and banjo) have gained a reputation not only for their arresting and intelligent songwriting, but for their exquisite musicianship and northern humour.
Liking to keep busy, Megson have recorded thirteen studio albums across their twenty 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’. In 2026 they were chosen as one of the five prestigious BBC Radio Two 21st Century Folk artists.
