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.
