Our Take

In the grand tradition of British folk music, Steve Tilston and Jez Lowe team up for an album that is as delightful as a cup of Yorkshire tea. "The Janus Game" is a delightful romp through traditional and original tunes that showcase the undeniable talent of these two seasoned musicians.

Tilston's intricate guitar work and velvety vocals blend seamlessly with Lowe's sharp wit and storytelling prowess. Together, they create a sonic tapestry that is both nostalgic and fresh, like stumbling upon a hidden gem in your grandma's attic.

From the melancholic beauty of "The Janus Game" to the upbeat charm of "The Collier Lad," every track on this album is a testament to the enduring power of folk music. The haunting harmonies and masterful instrumentation transport the listener to a bygone era, where tales of love, loss, and rebellion abound.

But don't let the traditional sound fool you – there's a mischievous twinkle in Tilston and Lowe's eyes that shines through in every note. Their playful banter and cheeky lyrics keep things light and bubbly, like a pint of ale shared with old friends in a cozy pub.

"The Janus Game" is a delightful journey through the heart of British folk music, guided by two maestros who know how to keep the party going. So grab your pint, pull up a chair, and let Tilston and Lowe serenade you with their enchanting tunes. Cheers to a truly magical musical experience.
