<p>We're so excited to present to you this special release, recorded live at the People Move On launch in January this year, available from November 25th.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a contents="Click here for exclusive pre-order only from Rough Trade" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/bernard-butler/live-at-rough-trade-east" style="" target="_blank">Click here for exclusive pre-order only from Rough Trade</a></p>
<p>On Friday 28th January 2022, the much-celebrated record shop <a contents="Rough Trade East" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/bernard-butler/live-at-rough-trade-east" target="_blank">Rough Trade East</a> 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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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. </p>

<p>Norman is of course the centrifugal force in TEENAGE FANCLUB, and James known for his solo work and LOVE AND MONEY. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Tickets go onsale this Friday April 29th 10am. </p>

<p>Taken from the forthcoming album ‘In Memory Of My Feelings’, out 18th September on Needle Mythology.’The Breakdown’ is the first offering to be lifted from the forthcoming collaborative album by Catherine Anne Davies (aka The Anchoress) and Bernard Butler. ‘In Memory Of My Feelings’ will be released via Needle Mythology on 18th September, 2020 and is notable as the first new master recording for Pete Paphides' label. The Breakdown explores the personal price to the pursuit of economic wealth and the failures of free market capitalism, framed through the story of one investment banker's catastrophic breakdown. Butler adds "Musically the song is deliberately dysfunctional with an unorthodox slowed up 10/8 meter. The piano arpeggio is played forwards then backwards to symbolise the dysfunctional dreamlike beauty of the breakdown”</p>
<p> Written by Catherine Anne Davies & Bernard Butler</p>

Yamaha Guitars are passing one of their wonderful L Series guitars around the world via players nominating each other to make a Bert-inspired contribution before nominating another. Johnny Marr began the journey and I was delighted to be nominated by Johnny to be next. I have recorded a small piece and message about Bert, and will be nominating the next player and sending the guitar on it's way soon. </p>
<p>You can watch and share my piece as well as Johnny's <a contents="here" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://80plays.bertjanschfoundation.org" target="_blank">here</a> . It will be updated so please watch out for further pieces as the journey continues. </p>

This is part of the Off The Record Festival held over 2 days in Manchester, hosting curated conversations by day and shows by night. Some of you maye have heard me talk to Dave last year. It was good fun and the audience gets the chance to throw things at me at the end. We want to centre this conversation this year on the present, where we are now, songwriting techniques, and how to survive and still be making music through the years. This isn't another chinwag about the good ole days, and if anything we want to confront the concept of an audience's obsession with where they first discovered an artist and the relationship that creates with the artist. How can any artist get across the life they lead in the meantime and do they have any right?! Please come along and say hi. I always love being in Manchester.</p>
