    Butten, one of the UK's leading guitarists, has won many solo guitar competitions including 1st prize at Ivor Mairants Guitar Award and recently the 2nd prize at the 2023 Francisco Tarrega Competition. The title of the album Night Fancy, was the original title of Britten's Nocturnal after John Dowland, Op. 70, which is featured on the recording.
