Celebrating 25 years since the release of his Mercury Prize and Brit-nominated debut album, Tom McRae is hitting the road with a full-band tour for the first time in years. Playing the debut album in full (and selected career highlights) from his 9 studio albums to date, McRae and band will revisit the raw emotion and poetic storytelling that have made him one of the UK’s most beloved singer-songwriters.

“It’s been a long time since I played these songs the way they were meant to be heard—with a great band and a room full of voices singing along,” says McRae. “This tour is for everyone who has been on this journey with me—it’s a celebration of the music we’ve made together.”

With a reputation for intensely moving live performances and wry, self-deprecating humour, McRae’s shows promise an unforgettable night for old and new fans alike.

Opening the evening is John Bramwell. As the singer-songwriter 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, he’s travelling a very different path, his stunning new album The Light Fantastic is almost a complete U-turn from his Kloot-days.

"McRae has quietly become one of our greatest living songwriters.”

The Independent

“A master of melancholy, McRae’s songs shimmer with raw emotion and poetic beauty.”

MOJO

"His live performances are spellbinding—achingly beautiful songs wrapped in dark humour and wry storytelling.”
