A MAN WITH HIS FEET ON THE GROUND, HIS HEAD IN THE CLOUDS AND HIS HEART ON A STRING, JOHN BRAMWELL’S NEW LIVE CD CAPTURES – PERFECTLY – THE NATURE OF THE I AM KLOOT SONGWRITER’S SOLO  GIGS.

His small-scale shows offer a chance to experience the band’s songs stripped to their bones, with his ‘off the cuff’ delivery lending an air of real intimacy. Between-song banter, gags and monologues provide context for some of the most well-lived songwriting of the last few decades. There’s something exhilarating about Bramwell’s gigs; they could veer off in any of many directions, as he reacts to the room and rides the moment. In this new edition of The Mouthcast – recorded after soundcheck for what Bramwell would later refer to as having been a “particularly surreal” show – he talks about the differences between solo and I Am Kloot gigs, and looks back to his recently reissued 1989 solo debut YOU, ME AND THE ALARM CLOCK.
