Steve Tilston & Friends

Doors 19:00 Show starts 20:00

Following a short run of Steve Tilston & Friends shows in May, they’re back together again in a favourite haunt, for a one-off band outing this autumn and it’s not to be missed!

Award winning singer-songwriter Steve Tilston returns to Bristol, the city that for many reasons, has played a major part in his life and could be considered his creative second home. It was here that Steve recorded his first album An Acoustic Confusion; he wrote many of his classic songs whilst living in the city and it’s 15th century Bristol that provides much of the backdrop for his novel All for Poor Jack.

Perhaps best known for his song-writing prowess, Steve is also a dazzling guitarist drawing from folk, blues, jazz and classical influences to create a sound that is recognisably Tilston. This evening, he’ll be sharing songs from his latest, and probably final album, Last Call plus older favourites from his vast back-catalogue.

One of the UK’s finest singer/songwriter/guitarists on brilliant form. Joined by regular Yorkshire sideman Hugh Bradley on double bass, plus Bristol music scene stalwart and long-time collaborator, harmonica maestro Keith Warmington and ace jazz drummer Tony Orrell on percussion… you can expect something very special indeed.
