Megson is a contemporary English folk duo from Teesside comprised of husband and wife Stu Hanna and Debbie Hanna (née Palmer). Formed in the early 2000s, the pair have built a strong reputation for combining rich vocal harmonies with astute musicianship, becoming known for their unique take on the folk tradition. Their music often intertwines traditional British folk sounds with original songwriting that addresses both contemporary issues and personal narratives.

Over the years, Megson have carefully crafted a catalogue of songs that showcase their ability to tell stories and evoke emotions, tapping into the tradition and history of folk music while putting their own spin on it. The releases like "What Are We Trying To Say?" and "Contradicshun" exemplify their approach of blending modern themes with timeless melodies. Not just limited to music for adults, Megson also explores the world of children's music with delightful charm, as seen in "Little Bird (Another Collection of Children's Folk Songs)" and "All Around the Kitchen." Their dedication to their craft has earned them multiple nominations for the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and they continue to enchant audiences with their dynamic and heartfelt performances.
