John Bramwell

If you have been following the local music scene for a while, you might be interested to know that John Bramwell is heading to Brighton for a solo performance. Known for his time as the frontman of I Am Kloot between 1999 and 2014, Bramwell has been focusing on his solo work, and this upcoming date at The Folklore Rooms is a chance to see him in a more intimate setting. The venue, located at 12 North Street, is quite compact, which usually makes for a different kind of atmosphere compared to larger concert halls.

The show is scheduled for 31 May 2026, and it is worth noting that this is a matinee performance. Doors are expected to open in the early afternoon, with the music starting between 13:30 and 14:00. It is a straightforward setup: just the artist and his songs, which tends to suit the acoustic nature of the venue. If you are planning to head down, tickets are currently priced between £27.50 and £30.95, depending on where you book.

It is the kind of event that appeals to those who appreciate the songwriting style that defined his work with I Am Kloot, stripped back to its essentials. Since it is a daytime show, it fits into a weekend schedule a bit differently than a typical late-night gig. Whether you are a long-time listener of his catalogue or just looking for something to do on a Saturday afternoon in the city, the logistics are fairly simple. It is just a matter of getting to North Street in time for that early start.
