I AM Kloot frontman John Bramwell returns to the stage this autumn, brandishing his first set of new songs since the Manchester band's 2013 Top Ten album Let It All In.
During 2014, the Mercury Prize-nominated songwriter would sporadically turn up at venues in "any town, anywhere" throughout Britain. Playing a different set every night, he tried out stripped-down versions of his 100 or so previously released songs; he regaled, beguiled and during certain parts of the show just flat out confused Kloot fans old and new.
After 50 performances of varying length, spontaneity and cohesiveness, and armed with a new-found confidence in his storytelling abilities, he returned to his home in Crewe to set about recording new songs for his debut solo release, Times Arrow.
"With these recordings ready for release to coincide with the tour and a bag of classic songs and great stories, John Bramwell brings poetry and great guitar playing, alongside that beautiful, unique voice and a little chaos, to York this weekend," says promoter Mr H, alias Tim Hornsby.
Bramwell will be supported at Sunday's 8pm show by Dave Fidler. Tickets cost £16 at thebasementyork.co.uk
