THIS EVENT HAS NOW SOLD OUT

Steve Tilston & Friends

Saturday 16th May 2026 – 7.30pm

The Old School Room, Chew Magna

First appearance for Valley Arts and not to be missed!

Perhaps best known for his song-writing prowess, Steve Tilston is also a dazzling guitarist drawing from folk, blues, jazz and classical to create a sound that is recognisably Tilston. Sharing songs from his latest, probably final, album release Last Call and older favourites from his vast back-catalogue.

Steve will be 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… so you can expect something very special indeed.
