|  | Steve Tilston Steve Tilston has been described as, an artist of “stylistic versatility and consummate musicality,” “a complete guitarist,” “a singer songwriter of rare talent” and “absurdly accomplished.” Ask anyone on the English folk scene who their favourite guitarist, singer, songwriter and entertainer is and nine times out of ten his name will crop up in the top three of every department. Steve Tilston is one of our most celebrated song-smiths, with many of his songs adopted into the tradition. He’s celebrating his 35 year career with the release of a 5-CD boxed-set. The company behind the Richard Thompson anthology released last year has just released Reaching Back: the Life and Music of Steve Tilston. Featuring classic, rare, previously unreleased and new recordings, Reaching Back is a timely celebration of one of this country’s finest performers. Compiled with unprecedented access to Steve’s own archives, the deluxe set comprises five full-length themed CDs featuring tracks contributed by Steve’s many fellow musicians and admirers as well as Steve himself.
