Joe Butler

Nich chats with Joe Butler at the Tap House after Joe joins Rachel onstage to perform a co-written song. Nick praises their voices together and promises to play the track once it's recorded. Joe shares how he started gigging by approaching bars on his first day at uni, without studying music formally, after writing since age 14–15 during COVID. He discusses writing about issues like drink spiking, his influences (Yard Act, Ren, Sablo, Arctic Monkeys), and regular gigs at venues including the Cornerhouse, John O'Gaunt and open mics, alongside growing social media interest. Joe explains his concept EP "Pendle Witch Volume One," plans for Volume Two and a full album. More here: https://www.instagram.com/joe_buttler_music/
