“Butterworth shows that you can steal the limelight even from the shadowy environs of the accompanist’s chair; death-defying, finger-bamboozling chord shapes whizz up and down the guitar’s neck, much to the amazement and enticement of the casual listener.” – Tradfolk
“Butterworth powers the show with driving guitar.” – The Metro
“Butterworth’s style is what makes her one of the most in-demand musicians in Scotland. There are few guitarists in this country able to so intricately guide a set with melody and rhythm.” – The National
“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.” – folking.com
