JOHN BRAMWELL (I AM KLOOT)

Village Club · Thornton Hough

As the singer in I Am Kloot from 1999 to 2014, John Bramwell achieved a Mercury Prize nomination for 2010’s The Sky At Night, a Top 10 chart position for 2013’s Let It All In, numerous UK and European tours and a triumphant farewell at the Queen Elizabeth Hall with an orchestra in 2014. Now, as a solo artist, Bramwell travels a very different path, a path that criss-crosses the length and breadth of the UK with a humble agenda of taking his heartwarming songs to the stage and enjoying another moment in time with his devoted fans. The stunning 2023 sophomore solo album, The Light Fantastic was an almost complete u-turn from the I Am Kloot outlook they were known for. Darker clouds banished and in replacement strings, four-part harmonies and a dozen gloriously exhilarating, beautifully crafted and observed songs about life, humanity, the universe and everything. As John put it, “It’s been great to find the joy of making music once again. These are the most uplifting songs of my career.” The album received unanimous praise from the UK press but it is the all-encapsulating live show where Bramwell conjures up his true magic. Bramwell has been on a never-ending rolling adventu...

CHRIS HELME

Village Club · Thornton Hough

This is a new date for the postponed 27 Sept gig. All original tickets remain valid. Thornton Hough Village Club presents Chris Helme, former frontman with The Seahorses. From his breakthrough success with The Seahorses to an enduring solo career, Chris Helme has always excelled at pouring his heart into music - in the process creating songs as affectingly emotional as they are obviously accomplished. Now, thirty years on from that first spotlight moment, the singer-songwriter provides a taste of his ever popular live shows with the new album ‘Forest For The Trees’. The record sees Chris revisit a selection of key songs from his journey so far. It covers hits and deep cuts from The Seahorses, favourites from his solo albums ‘Ashes’ (2010) and ‘World Of My Own’ (2024), plus the previously unreleased ‘Fancy Free’. The material is stripped back and warm in its organic live feel - the idea being to give fans a record which reflects the show they have just seen. The Seahorses were only together for less than three years but they achieved more than most bands do in decades: a massive Platinum-certified album, several chart hits, gigs with Oasis, The Rolling Stones and U2,...

HARP AND A MONKEY

Village Club · Thornton Hough

Thornton Hough Village Club presents experimental folk trio Harp and a Monkey. The work of Martin Purdy (vocals, glockenspiel, accordion, harmonica and keyboards), Simon Jones (harp, guitar, viola) and Andy Smith (banjo, melodica, guitar and programming) is imbued with a deep Lancashire sensibility that shines through in their beautifully crafted and sometimes spooky vignettes of life, love and remembrance. From original compositions to traditional songs, their approach is rooted in integrity.The outfit, who have been friends for more than 20 years, channel the ghosts of summers spent in municipal parks and winters walking on the moors. Ask them about their influences and they are as likely to cite Ordnance Survey maps and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission as they are Chris Wood, Bjork, Ewan MacColl or The Oldham Tinkers. Formed in 2008, Harp & a Monkey have established a loyal following via the old fashioned practice of relentless gigging. Regulars on the national circuit, the band have gained an enviable reputation for the excellent rapport they establish with their live audiences. Such is the strength of their reputation as a quality live act, they have twice been asked to...

THE LINDISFARNE STORY

Village Club · Thornton Hough

Thornton Hough Village Club presents THE LINDISFARNE STORY : The Road to Kingdom Come with ex Lindisfarne members Ray Laidlaw & Billy Mitchell. As a founder member of Lindisfarne, Ray Laidlaw was right in the middle of it... even before the band had been thought of. As a young lad with a drum kit and dreams of rock and roll, he set about hooking up with like-minded pals, setting him firmly on a course that would see him achieve success in a band with a #1 album, and a varied life in the music business. Thankfully, he kept all the best bits in a diary: and there's a lot of them, which came in very handy when THE LINDISFARNE STORY was first mooted... Billy Mitchell was also there when it all began. Close friends since the early days of Rock'n'Roll, Billy has never been far from the Lindisfarne action. When the band split temporarily in 1973, he teamed up with founder members Ray, Rod Clements and Si Cowe to form much-missed folk-rockers Jack the Lad. He eventually joined the band at the third time of asking in 1996, fronting the band until it split in 2003. His experience as both an outsider and insider gives a warm, unique perspective to THE LINDISFARNE STORY.
