Event information
As frontman for acclaimed indie band 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 culminating in a triumphant farewell at the Queen Elizabeth Hall with a full orchestra in 2014.
Cate Blanchett chose the Bramwell penned "Proof" as her Desert Island Disk citing him as "my favourite songwriter of all time"
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 and has getting great reviews
This will be a solo show and will be a seated performance
‘Bramwell’s latest record is yet more proof that he is one of the UK’s best and most underrated singer-songwriters’ – Hi-Fi+ Magazine
‘A lovely, harmony-rich, Beatlesy ode to positivity’ – The Sunday Times
‘A beautifully realised, heart-on-sleeve triumph, filled with rich melodic textures and gorgeous harmonies' – The Sun, 4.5/5
‘... the record has the uplifting, distinctive charm at which his previous band were so adept. The regular
harmonising with his cast of supporting musicians is especially beautiful...’ CLASH
