Sinead O'Connor

I'd give up ten gigs to go and see Sinead O'Connor play. Tonight in Manchester Cathedral is was another g'dung, g'dung moment. She vocalises what we all feel. When she smiled, it was with joy, when she put back her head and let rip all her emotions, anger, anguish, pain, jealousy, yearning, it was a release for all we felt and feel. Her honesty and bravery has been mocked for years as craziness, but how can her lyrics and vocal rawness be crazy when they spoke for all we felt? Another door opened tonight. I feel very very grateful and I would urge anyone who has the chance to see her to go. Give up other tickets. Hearing her is not enough. See her. The best night of the year.
