Megson at Mellor Brook
No, not the ginger wazzock who used to manage Bolton Wanderers. This is acclaimed duo Stu and Debbie Hanna still basking in the glory of Take Yourself a Wife their last album which features a fascinating take on a number of traditional tunes. Highly recommended.
Their latest offering, The Longshot is pre-released on I-Tunes today.
Megson play Mellor Brook Community on Sunday 16th May with support from Blackpool based acoustic artist Dan Wilde, who is set to release So Many Lights, his debut album.
