John Harold Arnold Bramwell is an English singer-songwriter. He is the frontman for the three-piece alternative rock band I Am Kloot, and has previously issued solo material under the guise of "Johnny Dangerously".

A solo John Bramwell gig is more than just a musical experience, it’s pure comedy gold rolled in as well. Before we even start the set he’s regaled us with stories of the nearby Heptonstall Beer Festival, with a tag line of “three days, two pubs and one festival”, where he played a solo set on a hot summer’s day last year and was heckled by morris dancers. It sets the scene for an evening that’s full of funny stories, rants about the music business and the commercialization of Glastonbury, absurd banter with hecklers about the setlist, including a request for a song that already been played, and his hair amongst other things, mishaps and ultimately over two hours of some of the finest songs of a generation.

The last two I Am Kloot albums and supporting tours have been supplemented musically by strings, brass, keyboards and other additional musicians, but John performing the songs solo strips them right back to their core. His rough edged voice is perfect for tales of drinking and disaster, love and loss, all with that dark foreboding feeling running through them. Whilst he’s not what you would describe as a classic singer, his vocals are a perfect fit for the stories because it makes you feel like he’s lived through every word of them and in the absence of the adornments of the band format, it casts them into stark reality.
Louder Than War.
