When Limerick songwriter and poet Sinéad O’Brien arrived at Alexandra Palace Theatre in London for a recent appearance on the BBC’s Later With Jools Holland, she was surprised to discover her dressing room was next door to that of Liam Gallagher.

“He was so lovely,” says O’Brien over Zoom from her London flat, ahead of the release this Friday of her debut album, Time Bend and Break the Bower. “He came up after the show and pointed a straw at me. It was like, ‘that was good’. It was so nice: his little seal of approval.”
