Megson to Open Royston Arts Festival 2024

Creative Royston are thrilled to announce that Folk band Megson will be opening Royston Arts Festival 2024 with a performance in St John The Baptist Church in Royston as part of their 20th anniversary tour.

All are invited to enjoy an evening with the dynamic musical duo on Friday 20th September, doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start – there will be a CASH (only) bar.

Megson comprise Debs Hanna (Vocals, Whistle, Piano Accordion) and Stu Hanna (Guitar, Mandola, Banjo) and are four times nominated in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and double winners of the Spiral Earth Awards and they draw heavily on their Teesside heritage to create a truly unique brand of folk music.

The husband & wife duo bring an infectious mix of heavenly vocals, lush harmonies and driving rhythmic guitars and have gained fame on the British folk scene, not only for their arresting & intelligent songwriting, but also for their exquisite musicianship and northern humour.

Tickets for the event are available now, and the event is expected to sell out:  https://www.megsonmusic.co.uk/product/live-stjohns/
