Steve Tilston, the hugely talented award-winning performer presents an intimate evening of music, featuring his own critically acclaimed material, alongside unique arrangements of popular folksongs.

Perhaps best known for his song-writing prowess, Steve is also a blinding, dazzling guitarist with a style echoing the elaborate rhythmic “folk baroque” but also drawing from classical, roots and the tradition to create a style that is recognisably Tilston.

His latest studio album Last Call will be released on Talking Elephant Records in March 2025. Steve says, “Last Call is an album I’m very proud of and in my opinion contains some of my best work.”
