About Me

‘Earthy original songs of passion and nature’
Hello I am Julian Butt one member of Lo-Fi Lung an acoustic led electronica project. I have also recorded lots of solo material and worked in several bands. I play guitar, keyboards and accordion and have recently been doing sessions for a few Derbyshire musicians including David Gibb, Baby J and Lucy Day.
I run a music project in Derbyshire called Turn it Up, We work with lots of new and developing musicians mainly in schools and Youth clubs. It is a great job and keeps me busy.
My music has changed a lot over the years from early experiments with synths and drum machines to psychedelic electro and it now has a more acoustic sound.
A kind review said :
"His idiosyncratic deeply personal, poetic lyrics and unique guitar work can been compared to the likes of Roy Harper and Nick Drake and Dylan." I say:
"what a massive compliment.....I'm not worthy”
Let me know what you think about my tunes and I hope to see you at a gig sometime.....
