About

BBC London presenter Gary Crowley returns to The Exchange with another of his ever popular evenings of conversation and music. This time featuring renowned producer and guitarist Bernard Butler.

Following an interview with Gary, Bernard Butler will treat us to a solo set drawing on a career spanning over 30 years and featuring songs from his latest album Good Grief.

Bernard Butler has been noted as one of Britain's most original and influential musicians. In 1989 he formed Suede releasing the Mercury winning No.1 debut "Suede" and the era-defining "Dog Man Star". His collaboration with David McAlmont on the anthemic "Yes" provided an intriguing footprint across Britpop's otherwise jingoist landscape culminating in 2 albums and a sell out at London's Roundhouse in 2015. He released two solo albums on Creation, the acclaimed "People Move On" yielding the hit single "Stay", and "Friends and Lovers" and a Brit nomination before moving into a celebrated period as producer and songwriter including seminal releases by The Libertines, Tricky, Black Kids, Kate Nash, Nerina Pallot, Teleman, The Cribs, James Morrison, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Frankie & The Heartstrings, Texas, Mark Eitzel, Mull Historical Society, Sam Lee, Oscar Lang and Paloma Faith.
