Darker clouds banished and in replacement stri ngs\, four-part harmonies [a warming development\, since Kloot never had a ny backing vocals] and a dozen gloriously exhilarating\, beautifully craft ed 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 ag ain. These are the most uplifting songs of my career."\nThe album received unanimous praise from the UK press but it is the all-encapsulating live s how where Bramwell conjures up his true magic as songwriter and performer. Bramwell has been on a never-ending rolling adventure since his workings away from Kloot and in the last three years has visited almost every paris h in England\, Scotland and Wales to be met with halls\, theatres\, arts c entres\, churches\, festival tents and folk clubs full with his eager fans waiting to see which direction Bramwell will take the mood of the night - the enriched\, wildly playful inter-song banter is so good\, a stand up c omedy tour has been contemplated.\nBramwell's razor sharp wit\, on the lin e and refreshingly true [and often hilarious] observations and instantly r ecognisable haunting vocal channelled through some of the most honest and direct songwriting of our times has seen Bramwell championed in rave revie ws\, time after time. Most recently\, God Is In The TV celebrated John's 2 025 Beautiful Days performance as the highlight of the weekend.\nAs Bramwe ll looks on to another year the 2026 road extends further and wider than b efore - a much anticipated tour of Ireland awaits as too many of the UK's finest venues where John's cultivated audiences will be treated to an unfo rgettable evening and experience.\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 m usic\, with purpose\, and very pretty with it.' - 4* The Times\n'A splendi d solo set of sumptuous vocal harmonies' - UNCUT\n'A unique voice both lit erally and metaphorically' - Lauren Laverne\n'Bramwell's new songs are spe llbinding' - The Guardian\n'My favourite songwriter of all time' - Cate Bl anchett\n'The UK's finest export' - New York Times\n\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.lewesconclub.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2025/10/JBramwellA4FB.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260329T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
