Steve Tilston Biography

Steve Tilston is one of the most popular and richest Singer-Songwriter who was born on March 26, 1950 in England, United Kingdom.

Steve Tilston was born in Liverpool and reared in Leicestershire. A graphic designer before taking up music in 1971, Tilston lived in Bristol where he recorded his first album, An Acoustic Confusion. In the early 1980s, he ran a folk club with Bert Jansch in New Kings Road, London. Tilston recorded a rock album in 1982 called In for a Penny – In for a Pound, but soon reverted to quieter music. In 1985, Tilston played guitar and mandolin with the on-stage band for “Sergeant Early’s Dream” while on tour with Ballet Rambert, and again when the ballet toured England in 2000–2001. Tilston formed his own record label, Run River, in 1987, and in 1988 he was a member of John Renbourn’s group Ship of Fools, which released one eponymous album on Tilston’s label. In 1990, he was a session musician on Peter Bellamy’s album Soldiers Three. By the 1990s, Tilston was frequently performing with Maggie Boyle, his on- and off-stage partner. Tilston garnered positive reviews in the United States for his 1992 album, Of Moor and Mesa, which contained two of his compositions, “The Slip Jigs and Reels” and “Naked Highwayman”, that were later recorded by Fairport Convention. Tilston formed Hubris Records in 1995.

In August 2010, it was reported that John Lennon had penned a letter of support to Tilston in 1971, though it was never delivered. Lennon had been inspired to write to the then 21-year-old folk singer after having read an interview in ZigZag magazine in which Tilston admitted he feared wealth and fame might negatively affect his songwriting. Tilston did not become aware of the letter’s existence until a collector contacted him in 2005 to verify its authenticity. “Being rich doesn’t change your experience in the way you think”, Lennon wrote. It was signed “Love John and Yoko.” This letter was the inspiration behind the 2015 film Danny Collins.
