"Stu and Debbie Hanna have at last recorded an album of entirely self-composed songs, and it's one of the most original political folk sets of the year. The multi-instrumentalist husband and wife duo (...) have until now specialised in reviving Victorian material from the north-east, while adding just a few excellent songs of their own. Here they match angry lyrics about the hard times of contemporary England with sturdy, unexpected melodies ... Ewan MacColl would have been impressed".

"Ultimately, 'Good Times Will Come Again' is about economy. No wasted time on notes or words. No hanging around to make something stretch a tad longer than need be. No instrumental doodling or indulgence. Just an adherence to the traditional values, the core element of good songs. And Megson can take breath easily, comfortable in the knowledge that they have enough clout and confidence with their own material to carry them free from what some might see as the bonds of traditional song in this unassuming but attention-grabbing collection. One which is set with some absolute jewels".
