Selby

Mark Telford is a singer-songwriter from Selby, North Yorkshire, England, whose music blends alternative rock and indie with strong folk influences. Drawing inspiration from the landscapes, history, and everyday life of Yorkshire, his songs often explore nature, love, memory, and the stories hidden in ordinary moments. Never one to be confined by genre, Mark's sound reaches far beyond traditional guitar-driven music. Alongside acoustic and electric guitars, he embraces instruments such as the sitar and didgeridoo, creating rich, atmospheric textures that give his music a distinctive character. His influences span generations, from the socially conscious folk-rock of The Levellers, the spiritual songwriting of George Harrison, and the soaring, emotive guitar work of David Gilmour, to the timeless melodies of Buddy Holly. These diverse inspirations combine to create songs familiar and fresh.
