Tue 10 December 2013 // 20:00 / Cinema

Tales of political and moral dilemma with the grace and fluency of a modern-day Pablo Neruda.
LOUDER THAN WAR
One of the great underground artists of our time.
JON SNOW (Channel 4)
Chris T-T returns to the Star & Shadow, touring his acclaimed 9th album THE BEAR, out now on Xtra Mile Recordings (Future Of The Left, Frank Turner, Beans On Toast). Chris T-T has been acclaimed for 15 years, without ever bothering the charts, nor compromising his radical, psychedelic songs. Called “Genius… a modern-day Blake” by THE SUNDAY TIMES (who’ve twice placed him in their Top 5 Albums Of The Year), Chris is increasingly cited as a key influence on a generation of successful British singers. 
Brilliant. The genius that is Chris T-T.

In 2010 Chris instigated the #IAmSpartacus civil disobedience Twitter meme and in 2012 his critique of the Olympics Closing Ceremony brought 65,000 visitors to his website in three days. More recently, Chris has been Artist-In-Residence (Popular Music) at Leeds Met University; delivered a TEDx talk on the generation gap; taken a one-man show of A.A. Milne poems to Edinburgh Fringe and he is currently Blogger-In-Residence at Brighton's iconic Royal Pavilion & Museums.
