John Bramwell [I Am Kloot]
John Bramwell is best known as the frontman of I Am Kloot, with whom he earned a Mercury Prize nomination for The Sky at Night, and a UK Top 10 album with Let It All In, culminating in a farewell orchestral show at Queen Elizabeth Hall in 2014.
Since then, Bramwell has carved out a distinctive solo career, embracing a warmer, more uplifting sound showcased on his 2023 album The Light Fantastic. A record rich with strings and harmonies that marked a joyful creative rebirth.
Renowned for his haunting, instantly recognisable voice, razor-sharp wit and deeply honest songwriting, he has spent recent years touring tirelessly across the UK and beyond, earning widespread acclaim for spellbinding live performances that blend heartfelt songs with wildly entertaining banter, with his 2025 Beautiful Days appearance hailed as a standout moment.
