Re-launched 4th Sept 2021!
Temperature’s Rising, our debut FULL ALBUM launched on
Friday 5th March 2021 during the lockdown – we RE-launched it at a spectaular event on 4th Sept.
The Grove Theatre in Eastbourne hosted us and many of the other fabulous musicians who feature on the album. Performing with a full band (9 of us!) was amazing! We’ll post photos soon and are working on a video of the evening.

The first of our reviews for Temperature’s Rising ...
The album’s final track, ‘Took To Wing (Nightingale)’, sees the album end on a high. The rousing chorus and overall feel/sound of the song recalls Fairport Convention at their best. A wonderful way to finish the album on.
I have enjoyed Milton Hide’s live streaming earlier on in lockdown, as they both love their music and performing it, something that shows upon listening to this delightful and enjoyable debut album. Add in the excellent sound/production work of John Fowler and you have one of this year’s ‘must have’ folk albums. ****

“Eclectic in style, sound and subject matter. Delightfully engaging and distinctly moreish …There’s political comment and dark undercurrent across many of the tracks, yet so subtle and easy is the music that you don’t realise the stiletto has arrived until it’s slid in…A very welcome addition to the contemporary roots scene”
“The track Say It All The Time has elements and overtones reminiscent of the Moody Blues, praise indeed!”
This is a godsend! I love their sound, the writing is poignant and refreshing, and there’s so much to dive into on this album!
Their music has a strong country/folk base but they have shaken things up with help from a bunch of fine musicians. You can hear their influences all through these self-penned tracks. There’s a touch of Fleetwood Mac in the title ‘Temperature’s Rising’ and ‘Making Progress’ makes good use of Josie’s fine voice in a song that reeks of vintage Steeleye and with humour and social comment that is gloriously relevant….

“Riding The Whale – achingly gorgeous track and certainly one of the best I’ve heard so far this year …Superior storytelling and well crafted arrangements.. this is one of the strongest debuts of the year so far”
Milton Hide - folk with a twist
Milton Hide are husband and wife, Jim and Josie Tipler, from Wilmington in East Sussex, UK. They perform their own songs and compositions on guitar, cajon, clarinet and the very occasional banjo and xylophone thrown in for good measure.
Subjects include polite, political rants, egg banjos, murder, whale riding, weddings, death and mid life crisis.
Encompassing contemporary folk, a touch of blues and cajun, some pop and a smattering of klezmer, their unique music is influenced by the local landscape, landmarks, characters and family.
If you would like to contribute something to the Milton Hide tip jar, please feel free!
Available to watch on catchup, all proceeds from ticket sales will go to support Hailsham Pavilion
