a brilliant evening a great venue with friendly staff John appeared to be having a great time laughing a lot marvelling at his own guitar playing due to illness he didn't have a full band he was accompanied by Dave Fiddler and improvised by teaching the audience the cello part usually played by Harriet so we all sang along with John conducting us when to sing the part
he played songs from the latest album and I Am Kloot faves Proof From your favourite sky and to the brink

I Am Kloot Biography
I Am Kloot are a band formed in Manchester, England in 1999 by John Bramwell (guitar/vocals), Peter Jobson (bass) and Andy Hargreaves (drums), notable for their twisted, witty lyrics.
Debut album Natural History was released in the United Kingdom in March 2001 on Wall of Sound offshoot We Love You, followed by I Am Kloot in September 2003 on the Echo label. Disputes and issues with the label began to arise towards the end of the promotional campaign for their sophomore album, when Echo said that Proof would be a single. Artwork had been agreed and a tracklist too, they had even gone so far to commission a video by Krishna Stott featuring Christopher Eccleston (who would later star in the new Doctor Who television series) contributing a powerful scene. But Echo shelved these ideas and ended up issuing the single as a download only, although a few copies were issued in Europe on the PIAS imprint.
Their third LP Gods And Monsters was released in April 2005, again on the Echo label but issues with the label again cancelling a single at short notice, this time I Believe, leading to the band leaving the label, citing a lack of financial support. Later that year they issued a limited edition single entitled Maybe I Should released November 21st, following their biggest ever headlining gigs in the UK, culminating in a show at the famous London Astoria venue.
The band are taking a break from recording their fourth album to promote a compilation which contains two Peel sessions and other rarities. 'BBC RADIO 1 JOHN PEEL SESSIONS' was released october 30th, 2006.
Random fact: "Kloot" literally means "testicle" in a derogative form in both Dutch and Flemish. When the band was first told this by Dutch DJ Jan Douwe Kroeske during the recording of a live performance, they were dismayed.
