Folk Bands and Artists
Steve Tilston
Steve is the writer of the classic “The Slipjigs and Reels”, “The Naked Highwayman” and “Here’s to Tom Paine” and his songs have been covered by a who’s who of the folk scene. As well as a hugely successful solo career, he’s toured with John Renbourn’s Ship of Fools, traditional singer Maggie Boyle, in WAZ!, with Maartin Allcock and Pete Zorn, the Ballet Rambert, with daughter Martha and most recently as Tilston & Lowe with Jez Lowe. He has also produced an enviable catalogue of eclectic work. His latest album “Such Times” was released in 2021, remarkably 50 years after his debut release “An Acoustic Confusion”.
Accolades include BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Best Original Song for The Reckoning. Fatea Male Singer of the Year 2015. Numerous radio and TV appearances, notably “Later with Jools Holland” and BBC Four’s Songwriters’ Circle. He also gained further notoriety when the story of a long-lost letter written to him by John Lennon (and never received) hit the headlines internationally, inspiring the Hollywood movie “Danny Collins” starring Al Pacino!
