Sat Beneath The Lightning Tree

by John Bramwell

Biography:

John Harold Arnold Bramwell (born in Hyde, Cheshire, United Kingdom, 27 November 1964) is an English singer-songwriter, best known as the frontman for the three-piece alternative rock band I Am Kloot (1999-present).

Long before forming 'Kloot' Bramwell issued solo material under the guise of Johnny Dangerously, although his 1989 mini album, You, Me And The Alarm Clock, is offered by streaming services such as Spotify as a John Bramwell album, so Johnny Dangerously scrobbles will also be found here.
