JOHN MITCHELL & FRIENDS: A very special Christmas evening

Event information

Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist John Mitchell, renowned for fronting Lonely Robot and wielding lead guitar for prog giants Asia and Arena, has announced a one-off Christmas concert in London.
This intimate evening will take place at the iconic Dingwalls in Camden, with Mitchell joined by an all-star lineup: powerhouse drummer Craig Blundell (Steve Hackett, Steven Wilson), keyboard maestro Oskar Holldorff (Big Big Train, Dim Gray), and long-time collaborator Jez Fielder on bass duties.

John and friends will be supported by singer-songwriter and BBC Radio 2 favourite Leddra Chapman, who will be bringing her own brand of one-woman-and-a-guitar magic to the evening’s events.

The show will feature a handpicked setlist spanning Mitchell’s extensive career. Expect fan favourites from Lonely Robot, It Bites, Frost* and Kino. “I am beyond delighted to be performing live this Christmas with an absolutely stellar band and reliving some fantastic musical memories,” says Mitchell.
For Holldorff, it marks the first time playing with Mitchell live. “I’ve been a fan of John’s for a long time. I saw him perform on Cruise To The Edge last year, and was brought to tears several times. His songs really connect with me. I cannot wait to play them, alongside Craig and Jez.”
Mitchell and Blundell are no strangers on stage, having shared years of collaboration in both Lonely Robot and Frost*. “I’m really looking forward to once again playing with my old mate John and the rest of the team, in December,” says Blundell.
Mitchell and Fielder, meanwhile, have built a reputation for their warm, engaging “An Evening With” performances - part concert, part storytelling, and always unforgettable. This Christmas show promises the same intimate vibe, with even more musical firepower.
“It’s been my privilege to be part of some incredible bands and play some fantastic songs during my career,” Mitchell adds. “This is an opportunity to celebrate that with good friends by my side. It’s going to be a wonderful evening.”
