#NowPlaying #np #NewMusic2025 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Alt folk, trad songs & new. Thoughtful storytelling placing women at the centre, Jenn’s music is uplifting - the last song Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still infuses a feeling of wellbeing which lasts long after the record has stopped spinning ☺️ Stunning artwork too!

Wow another 5* review! Thank you Simon Jones at Spiral Earth for your lovely words. ‘Read it here… “Her By Design,” is an essential album. Five stars, no mistake.’ spiralearth.co.uk/her-by-desig... #folkmusic #alternativefolk #newrelease

“The storytelling of folk music is drawn from tradition but by putting the woman’s perspective first Jenn Butterworth demonstrates its contemporary eloquence.” Thanks for the review AmericanaUK! americana-uk.com/jenn-butterw...

I’m not saying you should definitely use this opportunity to buy Jenn’s new album… But… You should really seriously consider using this opportunity to buy Jenn’s new album. It’s really good!

March is #endometriosis awareness month. Endometriosis is a lifelong #invisibleillness that “is estimated to affect about 10% of women of reproductive age, and an unknown number of gender-diverse people” according to a 2023 research study.

It’s been so lovely hearing from people who have been enjoying Her By Design, including these beautiful words left on my Bandcamp page recently. ❤️ jennbutterworth.bandcamp.com/album/her-by...

Out and about this springtime, come and say hi! In June/July I’m touring with Bella Hardy - dates and tickets are on her website. Also… keep an eye out for a special solo record store performance in #Glasgow this May.

#NowPlaying from this handy little list! @jennbutterworth.bsky.social - Her By Design I don't remember hearing Jenn's music before, but the tags say "alternative" and "indie folk". I can deal with this! jennbutterworth.bandcamp.com/album/her-by...

Done! Very nice. Contemporary Folk; written, performed and produced extremely well. The mood always has a tinge of sadness to it but the sound is warm and pleasant throughout. Great job, @jennbutterworth.bsky.social ! Highly recommended!

Her By Design is out! The album was created with vinyl in mind, so if you’re listening on CD / streaming, after track 4 you have to imagine turning the record over. Spread the word if you like the music! Physical copies & merch: jennbutterworth.bandcamp.com #vinyl #newalbum #newrelease

Album launched, having a celebratory dram then going to collapse! Thanks so much to everyone who pre-ordered. ❤️

Argh it’s release day tomorrow!! 🤩 It’s my Bandcamp listening party tonight, doors at 6:30pm, music starts automatically at 7pm. I’ll be there in the chat. jennbutterworth.bandcamp.com/merch/her-by... #newrelease #album #bandcamp #alternative #folk

Looking forward to chatting to Len Pennie on The Arts Mix, BBC Radio Scotland today! Tune in at 3:30pm.

Well that was possibly the most white knuckle plane landing of my life… phew…

Cheerio snowy Oslo! Back to Glasgow now, next stop, album release! I have a listening party on the evening of 27th Feb through Bandcamp - details on my Bandcamp page: jennbutterworth.bandcamp.com/album/her-by...

“Her By Design is an exceptional album and as a debut it’s a masterpiece. Turn up the volume and luxuriate in the singing and the sound.” Thank you so much Dai Jeffries for your review! folking.com/jenn-butterw...

Heard @bdrandy.bsky.social play a couple of tracks from this debut album by @jennbutterworth.bsky.social on #BlackDogRadio Got us even more excited in anticipation of our pre-order arriving in a couple of weeks 🙌 👇

Out in 2 weeks! Pre-order / pre-save links here: linktr.ee/jennbutterwo...

Thanks to Jason at @getreadytorock.bsky.social for the review! "In a word, stunning" ****

Been a quiet affair so far at the #CelticArtsFoundation Winter Trad course. 😂 Very much enjoying hanging out with this bunch and geeking out about all things trad.

I wrote One in Ten to add my voice to those raising awareness about endometriosis. The stunning & brutal illustration that accompanies the track was made by Somhairle MacDonald - it’s in full colour in the album artwork. jennbutterworth.ffm.to/oneinten #flares #endometriosis #womeninmusic

Lovely demo reel from @jennbutterworth.bsky.social and @willharmonicas.bsky.social just up on that YouTube. They're great! I still remember the first time I heard Will doing his thing in a floor spot at Sharp's folk club in London. Blew us all away, he did. https://youtube.com/watch?v=kgG1tGKJ6ls

Keir put on a record while we finished wrapping the presents. Turns out the soundtrack from Psycho is quite a good underscore for present wrapping…

Starry #Glasgow tonight.

Final check of the vinyl test pressings - thanks to Ian at Loud & Clear, Glasgow for allowing me to play the album on this beautiful system!

It’s being reported tonight that Reform’s Treasurer Nick Candy is planning to visit America to meet Elon Musk after reports he could donate £100m to the party. The meeting could apparently come within days. We need to make BlueSky the biggest social media platform on the planet
