Steve Tilston

Steve Tilston (born 26 March 1950) is an English folk singer-songwriter and guitarist born in Liverpool and brought up 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.

==Links to Peel==
Steve Tilston did a session for Peel's programme in 1971. It is not known whether Peel played any of his studio tracks on his programmes, as there are not many full tracklistings of his shows around that era on the site. Peel's friend and colleague, Andy Kershaw, is a fan of the singer and has done many sessions for his programmes.
