Megson

28th April 2010

A ‘Warthogs on Wednesdays’ event at The Old Ship Inn, Lowdham

We are delighted to welcome back Megson to play their second ‘Warthogs on Wednesdays’ concert. Nominees in the ‘Best Duo’ category in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and winners of the same category in the Spiral Earth website awards, the profile of Stu and Debbie Hanna is most definitely on the rise. Stu is also in demand as a producer where his credits now include the latest offering from Show of Hands, ‘Arrogance, Ignorance and Greed’.

Originally from Teesside, the husband and wife duo met singing in the local Cleveland Youth Choir. At that time, they both had very different music career paths ahead of them. Middlesbrough born and bred Debbie has been singing since she could speak. She trained to be a classical singer, taking a degree in Music at Leeds University followed by a post-graduate success at Trinity College, London, gaining a distinction as a classical soprano. She plays violin, piano, whistles and concertina. Billingham, Teesside, born and bred Stu was playing in a pop-punk band run by an American manager who had big ideas for the band. They soon found that neither of these worlds was ultimately for them and, shortly afterwards, joined creative forces in Megson.

“For my money, Megson are amongst the most exciting trailblazers of British Contemporary Folk” Seth Lakeman
