Live music review: John Grant

There was intrigue ahead of the Sinead O’Connor/John Grant double bill, as part of the Big Top series of gigs for Galway International Arts Festival.
O’Connor had taken to opening her gigs, including at Cork Opera House, in May, with the title track of Grant’s debut solo album, the majestic Queen of Denmark. It was an apt choice for O’Connor, with its refrain of “you really have no right to want anything from me”.
