SUMMARY:John Bramwell (of I Am Kloot)
DESCRIPTION:“There’s a line in the E.E. Cummings poem ‘Somewhere I Have Never Travelled\, Gladly Beyond’ which goes ‘No one\, not even the rain\, has such small hands’ which I paraphrased to ‘Nothing can wash this away\, not even the rain’ –– I’ve always loved that imagery and intrigue… I’ve never been a realist\, the magic and mystery is where my heart lies and where my mind wonders…” John Bramwell. \nAs the singer 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\, Bramwell travels the length and breadth of the UK. taking his heartwarming songs to the stage and enjoying another moment in time with his devoted fans. \nThe stunning 2023 sophomore solo album\, The Light Fantastic was an almost complete u-turn from the I Am Kloot outlook they were known for. Darker clouds banished and in replacement strings\, four-part harmonies and a dozen gloriously exhilarating\, beautifully crafted and observed songs about life\, humanity\, the universe and everything. As John put it\, “It’s been great to find the joy of making music once again. These are the most uplifting songs of my career.” \nBramwell’s razor sharp wit\, refreshingly true (and often hilarious) observations and instantly recognisable haunting vocal channelled through some of the most honest and direct songwriting of our times has seen Bramwell championed in rave reviews\, time after time. \n \n\nPraise for The Light Fantastic: \n‘The regular harmonising with his cast of supporting musicians is especially beautiful’ CLASH\n‘Wonderfully grown-up pop music delivered by an adept songwriter’ – 4* MOJO\n‘This is hazy music\, with purpose\, and very pretty with it.’ – 4* The Times\n‘A splendid solo set of sumptuous vocal harmonies’ – UNCUT \n‘A unique voice both literally and metaphorically’ – Lauren Laverne\n‘Bramwell’s new songs are spellbinding’ – The Guardian\n‘My favourite songwriter of all time’ – Cate Blanchett \n‘The UK’s finest export’ – New York Times \n\n\n \n\nPlease note this event has an age restriction of 14+ \nUnder 18s must be accompanied by an adult. \nDoors 7:30pm \nTickets: Seated £25* \nThis is a seated event with a mix of raked seating and step-free seating at ground level.

SUMMARY:Funke and the Two Tone Baby & Duncan Disorderly and The Scallywags
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 12th for this high energy double bill at The Vale! \nFunke and the Two Tone Baby \nFunke and the Two Tone Baby is a one man army. Uncategorised and uncharted. A blur of buttons and sweat. Powerful walls of grooving\, dirty electronica and a whirlwind of energy walk a fine line between 90’s dance\, electro-rock and alt-blues. \nCreated live and direct with loopers and samples\, F&TTTB sets the bar of how much sound a one-man band can produce\, as fat dance beats and filthy synth basslines are juxtaposed by a beaten up blues guitar\, sing-along anthems and glitchy harmonica. Layered songs of positivity and social harmony mesh perfectly with compulsive dance grooves and infectious riffs. \nOver the last 10 years F&TTTB has played over 1000 shows and each year his musical style and sonic output have grown and expanded along with a dedicated and cult following. Smashing a tour support with Dutty Moonshine Big Band and the accolade of biggest ever opening crowd at Beautiful Days Festival\, F&TTTB has proven he can hold his own on the biggest of stages\, and against the most powerful of bands. \nDuncan Disorderly and The Scallywags \nDuncan Disorderly and The Scallywags are a full-power party band guaranteed to bring the energy and ignite any crowd! Fusing ska\, calypso\, reggae\, and afrobeat\, our vibrant\, festival-ready sound is a celebration of rhythm\, fun\, and connection. Known for our silly\, high-spirited performances and infectious grooves\, we’re the ultimate feel-good band that keeps audiences dancing and laughing from the very first note. \nWith a massive following built from years of relentless gigging\, we’ve captivated crowds across the UK and Europe. Our adventures have taken us to iconic festivals like Glastonbury\, Boomtown\, and Secret Garden Party\, as well as countless gigs across Germany\, Italy\, and Spain\, where our unique energy has won over fans old and new. \n— \nStanding show.

SUMMARY:MR WILSONS SECOND LINERS + DOGSHOW
DESCRIPTION:New Orleans meets 90s Manchester club classics… \nIn New Orleans\, funerals are celebrated in style\, with noisy brass bands processing through the streets. The main section of the parade is known as First Line\, but the real fun starts with the Second Line\, those who follow the band to enjoy the music\, marching with the musicians and twirling parasols or waving handkerchiefs. \nWelcome to Second Lining. \nA rabble of mischievous northerners\, Mr Wilson’s Second Liners form a traditional New Orleans Second Line. However\, this is no sombre occasion: Mr Wilson’s expend their collective musical talent paying homage to the diehard days of the Hacienda\, 90s club culture and its greatest hero\, Mr Tony Wilson. \nProudly stepping out in uniformed style\, they channel the spirit of Manchester’s 24 hour party people and get audiences dancing wherever they play. \nThis is a standing / dancing event with a very limited number of unreserved chairs and tables available on a first come first serve basis. Access seats available for those who require them. \n \nDOGSHOW \nThese two full-bodied canine brothers are on a mission to create the ultimate party experience\, and might accidentally be the most surreal band you’ll witness anytime soon. Fusing live techno\, jazz\, dance musicianship\, their show comprises a battery-powered ‘Dog-Trolley’ in the\ncentre of the audience. From here Dogshow conduct a ritualistic ‘howling at the moon’ ceremony\, channelling raw animalistic energy. Join the spectacle and unleash your inner canine as we release the hounds back into The Vale in 2025. \nSoundcloud.com/dogshowparty \n \nTickets £15.50.
