Bernard Butler

Bernard Butler is back with his first new solo music since 2024, Irish Goodbye, an emphatic return to the purposeful melodic punch of past glories both as a solo artist, with David McAlmont, with whom he combined to write the evergreen Yes, and as founding member of Suede. For all of that, appearances can be deceptive.

In his customarily understated way, Bernard explains: “Last summer I went through a not-good two months. You go through periods where you question everything. Coming from the background I have you get to a point where a voice in your head goes, ‘Just fucking get on with it."

Bernard will be performing new songs and music from his career when he headlines Bush Hall this May.
