Review - John Grant - St George's Bristol

Last year, John Grant's "Queen Of Denmark" was one of the albums of the year with its sweet lyrical tales of lost love and growing up. The man himself came to Bristol to play an intimate piano gig in St. George's and produced a superb and atmospheric show. Accompanied by one other, Grant alternated between grand piano and electronic piano, and occasionally he was alone at the microphone, particularly for title track, "Queen of Denmark". The album was played in its entirety, but enhanced by tales told by Grant about the origins of most of the songs, including the fact that the lyrics to "Marz" were in fact the menu. One new song gave good hope that the next album will live up to this one. Great singer-songwriter and well worth seeing live. 4/5

So the theme for April is royalty in light of the forthcoming Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. So songs and artists with connections to royalty. First up, "The King of Wishful Thinking".
