Martha Tilston is an English folk-based singer-songwriter. == Biography == Martha Tilston is the daughter of singer-songwriter Steve Tilston and stepdaughter of Irish folk performer Maggie Boyle. Trained as an artist and dramatist, she began her musical career in 2000 as an active presence in Britain's alternative festival scene, particularly as part of the traveling troupe called the Small World Solar Stage.〔Small World Solar Stage () accessed 18 February 2008〕〔Biographical details found at Irwin, Colin accessed 18 February 2008〕 Her song "Good World" is among several that she has written and performed on environmental subjects.〔Friends of the Earth UK () Interview, accessed 18 February 2008〕 However, much of her work is not political, focusing instead on personal freedom, love, inner peace and the natural world.
