Overview
As 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 a very different path, a path
that criss-crosses the length and breadth of the UK with a humble agenda of
taking his heartwarming songs to the stage and enjoying another moment in time
with his devoted fans.
The 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.”
2027 sees Bramwell taking to the
road once more, previewing new material penned for his next album release –– “I
got hooked on this when I was nine. Maybe I've been quiet for a few years but
I’ve been out there gigging. Putting the hours in on my playing and getting my
voice limbered. All the time I’ve been writing. The past may be over but it’s
now all within these songs.”
