SUMMARY:Emma Langford
DESCRIPTION:Emma Langford is a singer-songwriter from Limerick who has catapulted herself to the forefront of the Irish Folk scene.\n\n\nEmma Langford has become a firm feature of the Irish folk and songwriter scene. A globetrotting troubadour\, Langford calls Limerick City in the South-West of Ireland home. Storytelling and wit sit at the heart of all she does; interweaving her live performances\, and shining through her works. Langford’s is an inimitable\, dreamy voice on the frontline of a new wave of Irish folk. \nIn 2017 Langford released Quiet Giant\, the album that won her an RTÉ Folk Award for Best Emerging Artist and the Irish Post Music Award nomination for best Irish folk act. She was since twice nominated for Best Folk Singer\, and once for Best Original Track at the RTÉ Folk Awards.

SUMMARY:Kneecap
DESCRIPTION:Belfast Hip Hop trio return to Cork City Hall following last years legendary set!\n\n\nSupport from GEMMA DUNLEAVY \n \nDoors 19:00 \nStarts 20:00 \n \nWhen Mo Chara\, Moglaí Bap and DJ Provaí – aka Belfast’s finest Kneecap – entered the studio with producer Toddla T in the summer of 2023\, they quickly decided to scrap everything they had already prepared for the album they were about to record. Instead\, they decided to build a pub together. \n \nBuilt on a West Belfast side street\, The Rutz is a community boozer\, in that the entire community uses it. All human life is inside\, either thriving\, striving or skiving. There’s people just trying to get served at the bar or up on the stage performing; others are slumped in darkened corners or emerging bleary eyed and coke smeared from the toilets. Religious affiliations are irrelevant and the chatter is a intoxicating blur of English and Irish. \n \nIn the evening\, the music is loud and shifts effortlessly between styles. There’s ethereal Irish folk song set to skittering beats brushing up against propulsive\, bouncing low end dubstep. There’s samples from rave records blasting out at panic inducing volume and there’s louche funk that seems to seep out of the speakers like liquid. Two pints inside you and forty minutes spent in here is utterly spellbinding. \n \nAlthough the pub is currently just a figment of the band’s imagination\, all of the action on Kneecap’s exhilarating first album – Fine Art – takes place in The Rutz. Like the band themselves\, Fine Art is fiercely intelligent\, consistently hilarious and genuinely thought provoking. It’s genius is to immerse you in a world thus far unrepresented in modern music. \n \nAcross the record’s twelve tracks and the interconnecting moments between them (recorded by the band and friends including DJ Annie Mac)\, the pub comes to life vividly\, providing the perfect backdrop for the cast of characters that join the dots throughout the album. From the moment the idea was born back in Toddla T’s studio\, it was the obvious location to base the world of Kneecap in. \n \nMo Chara “We’d been writing an album for around two years. We’d grown a lot quicker as a band than we were developing our production skills. We were getting big crowds at concerts and we knew needed to go for a bigger producer. When we got into the studio with Toddla T\, we scrapped every song we had and started from complete scratch. T’s idea was to tell the story of Kneecap. So the record was conceived as the listener stepping into Kneecap’s world. That’s where the idea came to set whole thing in a pub. You walk into a pub at the start\, there’s someone offering you a drink\, there’s a singsong… really\, it’s us taking you by the hand and leading you into our world.” \n \nMoglaí Bap “You’re in there enjoying a pint at the start of the night then you go to the toilet and someone’s offering you cocaine\, you go out and have a fag and bump into new people and all the time\, the mood and the energy keeps changing…” \n \nMo Chara “The challenge was to show versatility across all the genres of hip hop. We wanted to do all of that whilst sounding cohesive. The pub was a really good way of tying it all together.” \n \nKneecap’s story began in 2017 with the release of their first single – C.E.A.R.T.A. (Irish for ‘rights’). The lyrics document a near miss with the RUC on the way to party\, loaded up with enough illegal substances to warrant a stretch inside. While the track was quickly banned by Irish language radio station RTE for ‘drug referencing and cursing’\, C.E.A.R.T.A. saw the band help usher Irish into the modern era thanks to some much needed creativity with the terminology. \n \nMo Chara “We’re Irish speakers living in an urban area\, the first or second generation to be born in the city. Traditionally it’s a rural language after colonialism pushed it out west towards the sea. We wanted to bring the Irish language into the modern era by incorporating aspects of youth culture into it. There’s a different lifestyle in the city to rural areas. There were no words for drugs in the Irish language so we had to invent them. We’d recycle old words and apply them to modern things. That’s part of the world we want to create\, where the Irish language is central and it’s modern.” \n \nMoglaí Bap “The beauty of Kneecap is that we not only piss off people from the Unionist background\, we also piss off people from the Irish community.. We don’t discriminate who we piss off. There’s conservative people in the Irish language community who think that the language should be sustained as an ancient language in all its beauty. They think we’re ruining the language with the words we’re using. But you start to hear young people using some of the words we use in our songs\, referring to drugs or party life. That feels like we’re having a positive effect on youth culture.” \n \nThat positive effect comes into its own on Fine Art. A hip hop record in the sense that the glorious sprawl of Check Your Head was\, its approach to modern music is magpie like\, reflecting how an evening of music might evolve at a festival\, or inside the right kind of pub. Where the band’s previous mixtape 3cag reflected life and issues in Ireland at the point of recording\, Fine Art was always intended to be about the band themselves. \n \nOpening with 3CAG (no relation to the previous mixtape) – a beautifully spectral scene-setter that features the voice of Lankum’s Radie Peat (Mo Chara: “she’s the Queen of Ireland right now\, it is a pleasure to have her on the album”) – the album quickly kicks into a couple of different gears on the title track which features dialogue sampled from an Irish TV show where a local presenter discusses a mural the band had painted in their home town depicting an RUC jeep on fire alongside the message ““Níl fáilte roimh an RUC” (translation: “The RUC aren’t welcome”). \n \nMo Chara “The mural ended up on the BBC with Steven Nolan who’s like the Piers Morgan of North of Ireland. They had a massive debate about the painting And he says\, ‘The band Kneecap claim the mural is just a piece of fine art’. So we sampled it into a dance tune and dropped it in where it kicks. That’s where the title comes from – when we were getting stick about the mural that’s the term we used. Because that’s the best description isn’t it? If you don’t get it\, you don’t get it. It’s still fine art.” \n \nElsewhere on tracks like I bhFiacha Linne and Rhino Ket\, the spirit of the early ’90s rave scene is captured and brilliantly bound together with the frenetic energy of the 21st century club music. Although the two rappers were too young to have participated in the egalitarian outdoor raves that brought Catholics and Protestants together in the years before the Good Friday Agreement\, they have been hugely inspired by a documentary from that era (Dancing on Narrow Ground: Youth & Dance in UIster). \n \nMoglaí Bap “That film is about how they were all taking really strong ecstasy pills and having a really good time together. It looked like this mythical land where the pills were so strong that you only needed one all night. The music on that film all ended up seeping into the record because we all loved watching it so much. The song Parful samples it too.” \n \nMo Chara “There would be bombings in the week then at the weekend people would all come together to take Es. It didn’t matter where they were from. Then the week would start again and they’d be back to killing each other. The contrast of life was so massive\, but the rave scene really did start to change things.” \n \nMuch less the sound of losing yourself dancing in a field\, the first single from Fine Art (Better Way To Live) would feel more at home blasting out of the jukebox in the snug bar of The Rutz. An irresistible murky late night groove\, the track sees the band joined by Fontaines D.C.’s Grian Chatten (alongside that band’s drummer\, Tom Coll) who perfectly captures the slide down the bar stool from sobriety into drunken indifference. \n \nMoglaí Bap “We’re good friends with Grian and Tom\, we’ve played gigs with them before. We wanted to get them on the record so we got them drunk one night and made them sign the contract in the pub. After that\, they are bound into doing it.” \nWhether bribes of alcohol were necessary is unknown as Grian – like Radie\, Annie and Harrow Road guest Jelani Blackman (Mo Chara: “He’s sound as fuck and criminally underrated) and everyone else who features on Fine Art – sounds entirely at home in the surroundings. It’s testament to how welcoming the world is that Kneecap have built around them. So\, might as well head to the bar\, grab another pint and maybe a Baby Guinness chaser too. And don’t worry about last orders\, the lock in is going to go on all night.

SUMMARY:High Llamas
DESCRIPTION:.\n\n\nOpened up by the delirious alchemy of contemporary pop music\, Sean O’Hagan leaps back into life with High Llamas\, with a set of killer tunes reflecting on dimensional levels how definitions change over time. Arranged by Sean and produced with mix collaborator Fryars to engage the eardrums in non-stop new possibilities\, Hey Panda radiates optimism inspired by the joys and sorrows felt in former lifetimes and the diverse conundrums of today alike. \nHigh Llamas present Hey Panda – a modern pop music/deep listening experience that could only issue forth from their personal quadrant of the galaxy. Hey Panda projects soulfully through an enervating abstract of today’s popular music; the sound of the Llamas’ stately melodies and expressive ditties laid open – blissfully shattered – with drums and vocals hitting different\, burning sounds and contemporary production twists pulling the ear at every turn. \nFor the past few decades\, High Llamas have trafficked in contemporary pop sounds directed toward the avant end of the spectrum as much as not. But here the message was clear. Llamas’ composer-in-residence Sean O’Hagan was determined to let go. Hey Panda does just that\, with a set of tunes reflecting on multiple levels how definitions change over the course of a lifetime\, radiating an optimism derived from the diverse conundrums of today.Eight years since their last release\, the pop musical Here Come The Rattling Trees\, High Llamas have reinvented themselves again\, mixing their peerless harmonic voice with what Sean regards as the  extraordinarily good production sounds of today on Hey Panda. \nChoosing not to look backward to former golden ages celebrated in earlier Llamas eras\, Sean’s instead found himself opened up by the sounds of music brought into the house by his adult children and the sounds encountered at sessions for which he’s recently written arrangements. In addition to the more traditional contributions he made to The Coral’s Sea of Mirrors album\, plus his score for the Safdie brothers’ 2022 film production\, Funny Pages\, Sean’s drawn great inspiration through working with Fryars\, Rae Morris\, King Krule\, Pearl and The Oyster\, while also soaking up the work of Tierra Whack and Chicagos Pivot Gang\, and being cheered on from a distance by longtime admirer Tyler The Creator. \nThus\, Sean’s producer procedural has evolved again\, with upgrades first detected in his 2019 solo effort\, Radum Calls\, Radum Calls. With a cover of Billie Eilish’s Wish You Were Gay arranged for Bill Callahan and Bonnie Prince Billy’s Blind Date Party\, along with his COVID-era solo single\, The Wild Are Welcome\, Sean has leveled up again and again\, leading to the delirious revelations of Hey Panda. \nHey Panda’s wide reach is aided by two co-writes from Bonnie  ˜Prince’ Billy\, (who bonded with Sean over a shared love of gospel soul during writing sessions)\, guest vocals from Rae Morris and Sean’s daughter Livvy\, production twists from Fryars and the stalwart\, flexible presence of High Llamas. \nFor all of its sense of departure\, Hey Panda is a movement in the High Llamas oeuvre that’s been a long time in development. Aspects of soul music were addressed at the time of Can Cladders; similarly\, aspects of electronic dance music were in the mix in the late 90s\, around the time of Cold and Bouncy. But nothing up to now has refocused the music of High Llamas so completely. Sharing the impulse of late-period Miles Davis and Quincy Jones\, with further inspiration from Steve Lacy\, SZA\, Sault\, No Name and Ezra Collective\, among many others\, Sean O’Hagan and High Llamas are living joyfully in the new and the now\, with Hey Panda. \nTRACK LISTINGHey PandaFall Off the MountainBade AmeySisters Friends (featuring Rae Morris)How the Best Was Won (featuring Bonnie “Prince” Billy)The GradeYoga GoatStone Cold SlowToriafanHungriest Man (featuring Bonnie “Prince” Billy)The Water MovesLa Masse (featuring Fryars)

SUMMARY:Gemma Hayes
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome award-winning Irish singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes for her first performance in the Grainstore.\n\n\nGemma Hayes  \n2020 saw Gemma and her family to relocate from London to West Cork. It was there that she reignited her passion for songwriting that provided the spark for what would become her sixth studio album Blind Faith. “Songs began to murmur\, distil and rise up in my mind\,” she explains. “I would lock myself in the room\, usually late at night when the world was asleep. I knew I needed to capture them before they left me.”  \nBlind Faith was released in September 2024 to great acclaim\, with Mojo Magazine hailing it as “the album of her career”. It has delighted old fans and won new followers. \nThe critics have been universally generous in their praise of Gemma’s new work. \nThe album’s cover art\, designed by the German artist Dirk Wüstenhagen\, suggests an artist diving back into her art with conviction and a newfound sense of freedom\, perhaps even a bit of reckless abandon. \nGemma’s songs have always drawn their power from her lyrical intimacy and lucidity\, juxtaposed with her penchant for experimenting with various sonic textures that embrace both the quiet and the loud. \nThese hallmarks are on riveting display throughout Blind Faith’s nine compositions\, produced by Hayes herself alongside Karl Odlum\, David Odlum & Brian Casey.  \nThe Band \nGemma Hayes – Lead Vocal / Guitar \nÉna Brennan – Violin / Bvs / Keys / Ukelele \nRoss Turner – Drums / BVs

SUMMARY:Birdsong & Irish Rewilding with Sean Roynane & Eoghan Daltun
DESCRIPTION:Sean Roynane (Nature Boy\, Birdsong) & Eoghan Daltun (An Irish Atlantic Rainforest) come together for a special one off live podcast.\n\n\nJoin us\, as part of Cork Podcast Festival\, for a very special live podcast with Sean Roynane & Eoghan Daltun. Prepare to hear soundscapes of birdsong like you have never heard before and a night of conversation around Irish nature and rewilding. \nSean Ronayne always knew he was different. Nicknamed ‘nature boy’ by the other kids\, as a child he struggled to fit in and regularly escaped to the woods and coastlines around his home in Cork. The natural world was his happy place and where he discovered his true passion – identifying and understanding birds through their sound and song. A passion that would save him in the weeks and months following a near-death experience in his late teens. Even in the darkest times\, nature became his guiding light. \nOn the Beara peninsula in West Cork\, a temperate rainforest flourishes. It is the life work of Eoghan Daltun\, who had a vision to rewild a 73-acre farm he bought\, moving there from Dublin with his family in 2009. In 2022 he released his book. ‘An Irish Atlantic Rainforest’ which charts that remarkable journey. Part memoir\, part environmental treatise\, as a wild forest bursts into life before our eyes\, we’re also invited to consider the burning issues of our time: climate breakdown\, ecological collapse\, and why our very survival as a species requires that we urgently\, and radically\, transform our relationship with nature. This is a story as much about doing nothing as taking action – allowing natural ecosystems to return and thrive without interference\, and in doing so heal an ailing planet. Powerfully descriptive\, lovingly told\, An Irish Atlantic Rainforest presents an enduring picture of the regenerative force of nature\, and how one Irishman let it happen.The two come together for an informative\, inspiring and insightful discussion of their equally heartfelt and enthralling personal journeys of a life established in nature.

SUMMARY:Mairtín O Connor Trio in Concert at Ballydehob Tradfest 2025
DESCRIPTION:Mairtín O Connor\, Cathal Hayden and Seamie O’Dowd will be performing with the Mairtín O Connor Trio at Ballydehob Tradfest 2025\n\n\nVirtuoso accordion player Máirtín O’Connor\, named Ireland’s 2015 Traditional Musician of the Year\,(TG4 Gradam Ceoil Awards)\, brings his remarkable trio to the Ballydehob Tradfest for the second time having performed to a sell-out audience at Ballydehob TradFest 2022. \n \nGalway virtuoso Máirtín O’Connor’s accordion playing and range of compositions have been dazzling audiences for over 30 years\,” proclaimed the Irish Examiner upon Máirtín’s award in February\, 2015. \n \nHe is joined by Séamie O’Dowd\, a defining member of Dervish for over a decade and a brilliant guitarist and singer\, and the astonishing fiddler and multi All-Ireland champion Cathal Hayden (Four Men and a Dog). \n \nIndividually recognized figureheads of the Irish tradition\, the trio has built a reputation for their astounding virtuosity and vitality. The trio will appear at the Diana Wortham Theatre in Asheville\, North Carolina and the Savannah Music Festival as well as other venues. \n \n“Irish traditional music’s own ‘power trio’\,” wrote Earle Hitchner in The Irish Echo. “These three mean business and achieve art. Bravo.” \n \nMáirtín O’Connor is one of the most respected and best-loved musicians ever to emerge from Ireland. One of the main musical forces behind the now legendary Riverdance phenomenon\, through his work with De Dannan\, Midnight Well and Skylark and also as a solo artist he has quite simply gone where no Irish accordion player had gone before. Born and raised in County Galway\, Máirtín began playing the accordion at the age of nine\, inspired by his paternal grandparents who both played the instrument. His music reflects traditional Irish music as well as the wonderful swing of the 1920s Flanagan Brothers\, Parisian musettes\, Cajun music and Eastern European tunes. His career has included recordings with Rod Stewart\, Elvis Costello\, Mark Knopfler\, the Waterboys (Fisherman’s Blues CD)\, Tanita Tikaram\, Townes Van Zandt\, and The Chieftains. \n \nWith Cathal and Seamie\, Máirtín’s trio redefines concepts of Irish music. They play with a rare vitality and virtuosity\, using sophisticated arrangements and elements of swing\, bluegrass\, and more. Their formidable musical relationship has lasted over a decade\, with two albums released: ‘Crossroads’ in 2009\, and 2012’s ‘Going Places’\, which features Australian guitar whiz Tommy Emmanuel—with whom the O’Connor Trio toured—on one tune. \n \n“The versatile trio have managed to bottle the essence of their dynamic live shows\, on their eclectic new album Crossroads\,” raved Siobhan Long in The Irish Times. \n \nThe Máirtín O’Connor Trio has recently been touring as the band for the great Irish singer Christy Moore. The trio also toured the U.S. for three seasons (2011-2014) as members of Martin Hayes’s Masters of Tradition\, drawing standing ovations for their dazzling sets in venues from Symphony Space to UCLA’s Royce Hall. The trio has toured extensively through Ireland\, Great Britain\, Europe\, and more recently in Australia and New Zealand.

SUMMARY:Ryan McMullan
DESCRIPTION:.\n\n\nWriting songs and then touring the world with them: that’s the dream for any singer songwriter. And for many years that was the dream that Ryan McMullan was chasing. The Portaferry native is blessed with a voice that can shift effortlessly between the ethereal and the guttural\, and a prodigious songwriting talent to match. Since the early days of his career he garnered significant attention from industry heavyweights\, including Ed Sheeran\, who called Ryan’s voice a ‘rare jewel’\, and Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol\, who likened his voice to that of an angel. From playing in stadiums supporting Ed Sheeran\, to a string of hit singles\, and selling out headline tours throughout the UK and Europe\, Ryan’s rise was nothing short of extraordinary. \nIn 2022\, just after lockdown\, Ryan was poised on the brink of stardom\, ready to release his debut album Redesign and embark on a world tour that would surely secure his place as an artist with real staying power. There was even a film made documenting the album-making process: Debut directed by award-winning filmmaker Brendan J. Byrne and shown at Galway Film Fleadh and on the BBC.  \nBut suddenly Ryan had to cancel everything due to a severe mental health crisis.  \nIn his own words: ‘When Covid hit\, I was left with a huge hole in my life. My identity felt like it had been taken from me and during that initial six-month period I felt imprisoned in my own home. But we were all in it together and that’s what I continued to tell myself to keep the demons at bay. In 2021\, we were allowed to tour again and this was my chance to start to put things right again within myself. Calling the tour The Margarita Tour probably tells you just how far away from putting things right I actually was\, and all of a sudden\, not only had I lost myself\, but I was running away and completely spiralling out of control. Then it came time to release the album\, something written an entire lifetime ago. I was spent and I knew it.  \n‘At this point something had to give. And it did. I had my first ever panic attack while trying to say my wedding speech. I knew I couldn’t go through with releasing the album and touring. Running away hadn’t worked; I needed to face it and speak to someone. I spent the following six months in therapy and it turns out\, therapy really works\, because in 2023 I felt a shift occur. I knew I owed it to everyone to at least try. So that spring I decided to tour. I needed to know if I was really done. I owe a lot to the audiences that came to those shows\, because the truth is they brought me back around on this music thing. I felt an ownership and obligation to the debut album. I mean\, it had a documentary made about it! I sat down one night and listened to it front to back. Somehow this five year old\, out of time album that I felt had nothing to say for so long was speaking loud and proud. I listened to it through the week and it never diminished. It kept talking. The fog had lifted and it was time to pick up the phone and get back to work.’ \nThe version of Redesign that you hear today is down to a recalibration of Ryan’s sound and aesthetic\, but it also refers to a redesign of his mind\, too. There are undoubtedly some upbeat pop bangers on Redesign\, not least fan favourite ‘Bowie on the Radio’\, a song that Ryan holds dear to his own heart\, the gleeful canter of ‘Us’\, and the rousing ‘Real Love’\, a song that came about when Seán Óg Graham and Niamh Dunne of Northern Irish folk band Beoga invited Ryan to their studio in Portglenone\, Co. Antrim to write. The session went so well that Graham was soon installed as the producer of the new version of Redesign. \nThe sensitive side to Ryan’s songwriting is exposed in songs like ‘Flailing’\, which was written in an anxiety-riddled evening in front of the TV\, in ‘Monarch’\, written as a tribute to his mum after a falling-out\, and in ‘Episodes’\, a song containing the telling line\, ‘I feel like I’m drowning in all my famous friends. \nHaving already established himself as a talent to be reckoned with\, even bigger things await Ryan McMullan once Redesign is finally released on August 26th. Writing an album about love in its various forms – love for his family\, his new wife\, his friends or even his business associates – has aptly set the scene for an illustrious future\, and there is talk of how album number two will take another creative leap forward.  \nLet’s leave the last word to Ryan himself: ‘So with all that said\, here comes an album\, an EP\, and then another album after that. And I’m only getting started. It’s good to be back. Thanks for your patience!’

SUMMARY:Bernard Butler.
DESCRIPTION:.\n\n\nBernard Butler is a Brit and Grammy Award winning musician. In 1989 he formed Suede releasing the Mercury winning debut “Suede”. The era-defining “Dog Man Star” was followed by his collaboration with David McAlmont on the anthem ”Yes”. Two solo albums on Creation yielded a Brit nomination before  producing seminal releases by The Libertines\, Tricky\, Black Kids\, Kate Nash\, James Morrison\, Texas\, Mark Eitzel\, Paloma Faith and Duffy – spawning her Grammy and Brit Award winning debut Rockferry.  \nHe has played guitar for Pet Shop Boys\, Bryan Ferry\, Roy Orbison\, Bert Jansch\, The Libertines\, Neneh Cherry\, Robert Plant and Ben Watt. Butler is Patron to the Bert Jansch Foundation and Generator NE and lectures in songwriting for the Abbey Road Institute.  \nIn 2022 a  collaboration with Jessie Buckley “For All Our Days That Tear The Heart” resulted in the shortlist to the 2022 Mercury Prize.  \n‘Good Grief’ is the first new solo album in 25 years from songwriter and producer Bernard Butler. Between then and now\, Butler had ventured into the world of pop songwriting and producing\, including two seminal albums with folk musician Sam Lee\, a Mercury nominated project with actor Jessie Buckley as well as working with Bert Jansch and Ben Watt from Everything But The Girl\, The Libertines\, Tricky and an eight-million selling\, Grammy-winning record with Duffy. \nOf returning to solo work after two and a half decades\, Butler says ‘For a good while I was scarred and I was scared. I was happily distracted and joyously involved with so much music. I realised just being there was more than I had ever hoped for. I gave a lot to other people\, but realised that my story was defined but what I was\, rather than what I am. I set myself a modest commercial goal\, an expectant creative one: perform to 10 people without being bottled\, then find 11 the next night. Thus began the undoing of my own embarrassment. I would write as I thought and sing as I wrote until the bottles fly. And so\, the songs arrived.’ \nBernard booked himself into a rehearsal space in Holloway every Wednesday afternoon for months\, just him\, a guitar and a microphone.  The first fruit of these sessions is the new single ‘Camber Sands’\, “For years and years I have drawn straight lines from North London to every coastline I could see. To life-worn Londoners escape is the dream and return most likely. The story I found was not the sea but the journey. Camber Sands\, Mersea Island\, Dunwich\, or a dozen more horizons of possibility\, the sea and the seawalls\, and the endless return to face the city. Camber Sands is a love song – we flee the past\, the present\, ourselves\, to survive\, to defy. The loneliest music of the resolute\, the half-light and the saddest tunes.’ \nRound circle shows with friends Norman Blake and James Grant across Scotland gave Butler the taste for venturing back out on stage\, and while writing with Jessie Buckley for the Mercury Prize nominated For All Our Days That Tear the Heart album\, Bernard tucked away his own discoveries and continued the journey once Buckley returned to the silver screen. Confronting his own songwriting process\, he wrote words down\, away from the security of his guitar\, before carving music around the lines.  \n‘Good Grief’ finds Bernard Butler owning three decades of work\, free to perform\, bookended by wildly contrasting experiences of loss\, joy\, and bewilderment. The album is a journey from city to coast and back\, and between it\, an entire spectrum of human emotion.
