Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist John Mitchell, renowned for fronting Lonely Robot and wielding lead guitar for prog giants Asia and Arena, has announced a one-off Christmas concert in London.

This intimate evening will take place at the iconic Dingwalls in Camden, with Mitchell joined by an all-star lineup: powerhouse drummer Craig Blundell (Steve Hackett, Steven Wilson), keyboard maestro Oskar Holldorff (Big Big Train, Dim Gray), and long-time collaborator Jez Fielder on bass duties.

John and friends will be supported by singer-songwriter and BBC Radio 2 favourite Leddra Chapman, who will be bringing her own brand of one-woman-and-a-guitar magic to the evening’s events.

The show will feature a handpicked setlist spanning Mitchell’s extensive career. Expect fan favourites from Lonely Robot, It Bites, Frost* and Kino. “I am beyond delighted to be performing live this Christmas with an absolutely stellar band and reliving some fantastic musical memories,” says Mitchell.
