We are very excited to be staring the year with a series of shows – kicking off in February at Clerkenwel’’s Wilmington Arms. This first show is part of the ROUT OF THE BLUES series which has seen the likes of Alistair Roberts, Circulus & The Owl Service perform in the last year. Support that night comes from South-East London folk rockers MILKWOOD. If that all sounds too cosmopolitan, then our next show on February 18th is in the atmospheric setting of St Mary Magdalene Church, Dunton Village, Bedfordshire. This is  promoted by the lovely people at Dunton Folk who specialise in Local Cider production – check out their specialist brewery here http://www.duntoncider.co.uk/

Megson are excited to announce that in October 2012 we are to be involved with a very special project  – the very first Cambridge Folk Day. Presented by cultural charity The ACE Foundation, Cambridge Folk Day will be a one day intensive learning course on many aspects of folk music. Even better it will be in led by your very own Stu & Debs Megson. The course will take place on Sunday 14th October 2012 and is open to all level musicians, from beginner to accomplished, from school age to retirement. Tickets for the day cost £45 and are available from THE ACE FOUNDATION WEBSITE .

In November Megson will embark on a mini-tour of venus in the North-East of England. Staring of at Bishop Auckland Town Hall on Wednesday 16th November – tickets for this are available from the Town Hall Box Office on 01388 602610. Then on Friday 18th November Megson will be performing in the wonderful Yorkshire town of Keighley at the Bacca Pipes Folk Club – full information can be found at the Bacca Pipes Website. Finally, on Saturday 19th November Megson will return to their roots with a special concert at St Barnabas Church, Middlesbrough. This event is now SOLD OUT.

On Sunday 23rd October Megson will be performing at Hitchin Folk Club, located at The Sun Hotel, Sun Street, Hitchin – Herts. Megson are no strangers to the former BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Folk Club of The Year, but this night promises to be an extra special occasion with the inclusion of support act The Young’Uns. These three singers, also fellow smoggies – are causing waves on the folk scene with their stunning 3 part accapella singing and tantalising Teesside wit. The music starts at 8:15pm – don’t be late!

Megson are delighted to be performing at Acousticity in The Headway Theatre, Colchester on Saturday the 15th October. Support for the evening will be the wonderful Jess Morgan who in our opinion is one of the best  new songwriters emerging form the acoustic scene – and we are not alone, as BBC Radio 2’s Steve Lamacq, aka LAMO, is also a big fan. Check out Jess’s website here. Tickets for the evening are available from the theatre box office on 01206 366000.
