Steve Tilston is one of our most celebrated song smiths, widely recognised within the world of folk and contemporary music; the words, arrangements and subtle, quite superb guitar playing could be no one else.
“The more you listen, the more there is to discover.” Bob Harris
Born in Liverpool and raised in the Midlands, Steve made his recording debut in 1971 with the classic An Acoustic Confusion and has been turning out quality albums ever since. Life by Misadventure, And So It Goes, Solo Rubato and Such and Such all featuring first-class song-writing and marking him out as one of this country’s finest writers.
The writer of such classic songs as The Slipjigs and Reels and the award-winning The Reckoning, but it was the story of Steve’s “lost” letter from John Lennon that thrust Steve into the worldwide media spotlight and was the inspiration for a Hollywood movie - Danny Collins.
He joined an illustrious band of guitarists including Martin Simpson, Michael Messer and Wizz Jones, when he was invited to contribute to the Guitar Maestro series of DVDs; a combination of live studio performance and interviews, revealing the real passion behind these talented musicians… If anyone ever deserved the moniker “Guitar Maestro”, it’s Steve Tilston.
