Steve Tilston (s)


F o lk fa n s f rom th e Ribble Valley won’ t have far to travel to catch veter­ an British folk legend Ste­ ve Tilston in an intimate venue. Described as an artist


of “stylistic versatility and consummate musicality,” “a complete guitarist,” “a singer songwriter of rare talent” and “absurdly ac­ complished”, Tilston will appear on Saturday Novem­ ber 22nd, at Mill House, Clayton-le-Moors. This show is one o f


several folk music evenings arranged over the coming months at Mill House in Corn Mill Yard off Whalley Road.


Tilston, who has guested


on BBC television’s “Later with Jools Holland”, has


been praised and endorsed by such folk luminaries as Mike Harding, Bob Harris, Bert Jansch, Wizz Jones, Dave Pegg,.Ralph McTell and Richard Thompson. One of his songs, “Here’s


to Tom Paine”, about the American Independence campaigner, is the adopt­ ed theme song for the Tom Paine Society of America and has been sung by Bruce Springsteen in some of his live shows. More details of Steve

Pianist Bill, an alumnus of Leeds College of Music, is also a long-term member of the sprawling multi-national fusion band Snarky Puppy, which has garnered a huge glo­ bal audience and been causing tremors on the international


jazz scene in recent years. Snarky Puppy fans will

This masterful, widescreen record exhibits not only Lau- rance’s piano and keyboard talent, but also his progres­ sive composing skills, in com­ bining a contemporary music form that combines jazz and


classical with soulful and dig­ ital elements. Flint reached number one in the Jazz and iTunes charts. “The most important thing


for me is that it underlines my belief that people are always hungry for new music,” says Bill.


“The record has proven to


be a game changer in respect of all the doors it has opened

from Snarky Puppy and I were talking about this at a gig one time. He kind of coined it as ‘classical soul’ and I quite liked
