Bernard Butler

Bernard Butler first came to prominence as guitarist and co-songwriter with Suede before establishing a career as a producer, collaborator and solo artist. His work includes acclaimed recordings with David McAlmont, production for Duffy and collaborations with singer Jessie Buckley. His 2024 album Good Grief marked his return to solo recording after more than two decades.

Butler’s solo music combines melodic guitar playing with reflective songwriting and richly textured arrangements. His performances move between intimate, understated passages and expansive guitar-driven songs, with his distinctive playing and increasingly assured vocals at the centre.
