John Bramwell of I Am Kloot

A solo concert by John Bramwell, the former singer of I Am Kloot, at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. The evening draws on a career that began with the band and continues with solo songwriting.

John Bramwell sang with I Am Kloot from 1999 to 2014. During those years the band's album The Sky At Night (2010) earned a Mercury Prize nomination, and Let It All In (2013) reached the UK Top 10. The group closed with a farewell show at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in 2014, performed with an orchestra.

Since then Bramwell has worked as a solo artist. The second solo album, The Light Fantastic (2023), departs from the earlier band's sound, bringing in strings and four-part harmonies for a set of songs about life, humanity and the universe. Bramwell has toured across England, Scotland and Wales, and the live performances include a good deal of talk between songs.

The Brudenell Social Club in Burley, Leeds, began as a working men's club and now mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts. The music on this bill is pop, rock and indie.
