Rising star to play intimate live sets
Rory Butler, who has been described by BBC Scotland's Roddy Hart as "the most exciting Scottish talent to emerge in recent times" will perform an intimate live set of acoustic music around Angus and Fife.
The rising star will be playing live in Carnoustie, Linrathen and Tayport this month with future gigs planned for London, Manchester and Edinburgh later in the year.

After growing up in Edinburgh, Rory then spent his early twenties in east London, writing and performing new music.
His first single Black and Blue was included on the Apple Music ‘Best of the Week’ and Spotify’s ‘New Music Friday’ playlists. Subsequently, the track peaked at number six on the Spotify ‘viral’ chart and made it onto ‘new music’ lists in Brazil, Germany, Portugal and Sweden.
His total world-wide streaming figures now exceed 800,000.
In the build-up to recording his debut album ‘Window Shopping’, Rory opened for John Paul White (The Civil Wars) and folk legend Richard Thompson.
