Ten years ago, another local band was on the ascent: Megson. The husband and wife duo formed in Cambridge and soon caught the attention of Radio 2 DJ Bob Harris, earned three BBC Radio 2 Folk Award nominations and delighted fans at the Cambridge Folk Festival.
Now, for the first time, Megson will be performing a one-off show at Cambridge Junction with an extended line-up. Their homecoming show takes place on 20 April and joining them is NIZLOPI’s JP on bass, and Cliff Ward (The Willows) on banjo and fiddle.
See “the most original duo on the British folk scene” (The Guardian), live at the Junction at 8pm; tickets £13. Support on the night comes from Fowlmere folk singer Hannah Sanders.
