In the early 1990s, Bramwell formed The Mouth with friend and musician Bryan Glancy that later included members of I Am Kloot – Andy Hargreaves and Peter Jobson. The Mouth first played live at the Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles, and on returning from America, Bramwell worked booking bands at Manchester venue Night & Day Café during the mid- to late-1990s. In 1999, he formed I Am Kloot. The band released their first album Natural History in 2001 – produced by Guy Garvey from Elbow .
In 2023 he returns showcasing new material from the forthcoming album The Light Fantastic (Townsend Records). The former I Am Kloot songwriter will also perform material from his earlier albums ( Leave Alone The Empty Spaces reached Number 1 in the iTunes songwriter chart in 2018) and some Kloot classics as well. As part of I am Kloot, John released ten albums, receiving a Mercury Music Prize nomination for the exquisite, ‘Sky at Night’
