Bernard Butler

Bernard Butler brings his first new solo music since 2024 to Bristol Beacon, with a live set spanning new songs and music from across his career. Best known as a founding member of Suede and for his songwriting partnership with David McAlmont, Butler has also worked with artists including Duffy and Jessie Buckley.

His new single, Irish Goodbye, marks an emphatic return to the melodic guitar sound that has run through much of his work. Starting with a guitar hook, the track took shape as Butler brought in synth, drum machine and slap bass, drawing on the records and musical influences that have stayed with him throughout his career.

Expect a chance to hear new material alongside songs from his remarkable back catalogue.
