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.
‘A unique both literally and metaphorically’ – Lauren Laverne
‘My favourite songwriter of all time’ – Cate Blanchett [who chose Bramwell-penned ‘Proof’ as
her Desert Island Disk on the BBC Radio 4 show]
‘The UK’s finest export’ New York Times
‘Bramwell’s new songs are spellbinding’ The Guardian
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

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
