On Friday 28th January 2022, the much-celebrated record shop Rough Trade East hosted a launch event for the Edsel 4CD and Demon Records 2LP reissue of Bernard Butler’s first solo album “People Move On”. Originally released on the Creation label in 1998, it charted at # 11 in the UK album charts, and was home to three hit singles. 

For the bonus material of the reissue, Bernard decided to re-record all his vocals, for the album and the non-album b-sides. Revisiting the songs in this way inspired him to perform some of them again. So after a Q&A session with journalist Pete Paphides, Bernard took to the stage and played six songs to an appreciative audience – one b-side and five album tracks. 

The inner sleeve features a new note by Bernard himself about his love of bootleg recordings – here’s an excerpt: The live LP always let me down – well-recorded, staged and sanitised repros. This – my first attempt – is of course ‘off the desk’; but in the spirit of those lost bootlegs, I had no plan for this recording or release, and so it is raw, re-invented... a short but enjoyable set at a London in-store thrown back at you in my tribute to the bootleggers.

We are extremely proud that the Jessie Buckley & Bernard Butler record "For All Our Days That Tear The Heart" has been included on the prestigious Mercury Prize Shortlist for 2022. Bernard & Jessie attended the launch yesterday in London to answer questions and be photographed accepting the shortlist award. The event will be held on September 8th in London where they will perform a song live. The show will be televised and is not to be missed!

Jessie Buckley & Bernard Butler will be performing on 2 TV shows this week.

On Friday if you are in Ireland you can catch them on the Late Late Show on RTE, 9:35PM.

Then on Saturday they join the lineup of Later ... with Jools Holland on BBC2 at 9:30. They will be performing two songs live accompanied by a band, strings and mini-choir. They will also be chatting to Jools at the piano and choosing songs from the BBC archive.

Not to be missed!

All performances will be found afterwards on the show links.

Listen to the Chris Hawkins Show on BBC 6Music tomorrow from 5:30am GMT to hear the first play of the title track from Jessie & Bernard's album "For All Our Days That Tear The Heart", which is also streaming from midnight tonight.

I'm excited to announce another headline show at Lafayette in London on 17 June. Pre-order For All Our Days That Tear The Heart from the official store to get access to pre-sale tickets. If you have already pre-ordered the album, you will automatically be eligible for pre-sale access.

I will be playing some more shows in Scotland in September with Norman and James. 

Norman is of course the centrifugal force in TEENAGE FANCLUB,  and James known for his solo work and LOVE AND MONEY. 

We perform a selection of each others songs – and it’s an arrant joy; each musician fronting one of their own songs in turn, with simpatico input from their co-players. There’s a natural camaraderie and beautifully crafted tunes, filled with melody, harmony and impeccable guitar chops.

Tickets go onsale this Friday April 29th 10am. 

Head to the LIVE page for ticket links and info.

The record I have made with Jessie Buckley is now available to pre-order from the official site shop. 

If you pre-order the album "For All Our Days That Tear The Heart" on any format before April 23rd you will have the chance to win tickets for our debut show on 8th May. 

The album is out officially on June 10th but more songs will be revealed in the coming weeks so sign up on the official site as well as my mailing list to hear everything first!

Unfortunately due to unforeseen production issues, the People Move On reissue has been set back to 11/2/22. 

If you have purchased your copy through our store , we will ship your copy as soon as we get stock, on or before that date.

The GOOD NEWS is that the launch at London's Rough Trade East is still set for this Friday 28/1/22 and if you have already bought a ticket, your copy of the record will be waiting for you to collect and have signed by Bernard on the night. 

If you are not already going, there are still a few tickets to this very special limited event in which Bernard will play a short set, take part in a live q&a with Pete Paphides, and sign copies afterwards. Tickets are available HERE.

"Not Alone - 2021", "People Move On - 2021" and "Stay - 2021" are now streaming on all platforms. 

Bernard has also compiled a 'People Move On - Inspirations' playlist dedicated to songs he was listening to around the time of making the album. And a 'Top Tracks' playlist is Bernard's career highlights.
