BERNARD BUTLER

BERNARD BUTLER Following his spell as the original guitarist in SUEDE and his collaboration with David McAlmont, he move to Creation Records (home of Oasis) to begin his solo career.

The first fruits were the Brit Award nominated album 'People Move On', which sold over 100,000 copies and was one of Rolling Stone's magazine's Albums Of The Year.
The album was a deeply involving and lush affair, that saw him tagged as a Neil Young for the 90's and heir to the likes of Mick Ronson, John Squire (The Stone Roses) and Johnny Marr (The Smiths and Electronic).

THE SUNDAY TIMES wrote "edging towards a full blown statement of intent, one of the years best examples of the singer-songwriter art".
His second album, the recently released 'Friends And Lovers', recorded with Andy Wallace (Nirvana,Jeff Buckley), has been equally well received and seen him complete a full UK arena tour with Texas. The date at Ronnies forms part of a full UK headline tour.

UNCUT wrote "They don't make 'em like they used to, the headshakers will tell you. But they do and Bernard Butler proves it".
