PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS AN UNRESERVED SEATED SHOW

 

As the singer-songwriter in I Am Kloot from 1999 to 2014, John Bramwell achieved a Mercury Prize nomination for 2010’s ‘The Sky At Night’, a Top 10 chart position for 2013’s ‘Let It All In’, numerous UK and European tours and a triumphant farewell at the Queen Elizabeth Hall with an orchestra in 2014.

Now, as a solo artist, he’s travelling a very different path, his stunning new album ‘The Light Fantastic’ is almost a complete U-turn from his Kloot-days. Darker clouds have been banished, there are now strings and four-part harmonies and a dozen gloriously exhilarating, beautifully crafted observed songs about life, humanity, the universe and everything else.

Praise for ‘The Light Fantastic’ 

‘Bramwell goes for the kind of classic melody-rich songwriting reminiscent of Tim Hardin, Neil Young and

other introspective types… this is hazy music with purpose, and very pretty with it’

– The Times, 4/5

 

‘A beautifully realised, heart-on-sleeve triumph, filled with rich melodic textures and gorgeous

harmonies’

– The Sun, 4.5/5

 

‘There is a seriousness at work within the breeziness. It’s a lovely record, deserves a wider

audience’

– The New Cue

 

‘Britain’s most incisive singer-songwriter. Much to treasure. Fantastic’

– Record Collector

 

‘A splendid solo set of sumptuous vocal harmonies’

– UNC
