Grian on Elton John's Rocket Hour

Sept 12, 2024
Grian's interview portion on Elton John's Rocket Hour radio show :)

Agree completely regarding In The Modern World. Grians vocals really shine on that one and he sounds absolutely gorgeous! Witnessed it live 4 times now, gets better with every performance. He truly has found his voice on this album 💗💚

❤️‍🩹it’s a beautiful song

[@Romany1111]

Well deserved praise. The new record, Romance, is a logical progression for this band. For me, it was a bit of a surprise from Skinty Fia but it grew on me nearly instantaneously and is, so far, my favorite album of the year. Amazing production, and more of the band contributing to vocals. New songs, new instruments (Mellotron!), and new praise. Cheers, boys!

[@DubScrub]

What a fabulous endorsement - and truly deserved. This is more of a fanboy segment than an interview, but I thoroughly approve! 👍

Definitely a green wave coming with Fontaines, Kneecap, Newdad, Gurriers, The Murder Capital all on the rise. 🇮🇪. We need bands back in the charts pushing out manufactured music.

[@eoghandelaney7478]

….Just Mustard, Pillow Queens and Sprints. Let that green wave wash all over me!

[@sounds.of.stereo]

Let's gooooooo. 🇮🇪

Well done Grian, always knew you’d reach the top. Lots of love from your old friend Betty. Xxx

Dogrel 2019/ A Hero's Death 2020/Skinty Fia 2022/ Roance 2024........I honestly can't think of a band that has released four Albums on the bounce that are so completely different from each other but yet all classic albums in their own right .........I copped on to Elton John a very long time ago ....What a man and his interest and knowledge of the music scene is quite astonishing he has all his life been checking out new music and if he heaps praise on a band you better believe the band deserve it ....... his analysis of the Fontaines Dc is spot on ..

[@markdinh]

Ok Elton. Can you look any more Liberace with your background? Lol love Fontaines and love…your early stuff :-) He really knows their catalog and he loves the Lemon Twigs too. He’s such a music nerd. Love it

[@brassneck96]

How amazing 🎉❤

[@JonJonJonJonJonJonJonJon]

Elton is a big music man. And also a big rocket man.

[@ashers-m9p]

They've been the best band out there since their inception

[@daverigney3446]

The lads . ❤❤❤

[@ImElliottWolfe]

Elton is a total legend! A real music fan

[@jobinmcgooch]

Tremendous 👏🏽

[@johnhutchinson-x2l]

🙏❤️🙏

[@nicennice]

It is bloody wonderful.

[@SlowCoastRadio]

It's not far-fetched to believe this band could reach the same heights as U2

[@joseph9074]

Who lol

[@sweetnuthin]

Elton John talks a lot, doesn't he?

[@aaronkeane2336]

Yeah it's a radio show, what would you like him to do instead? Most trivial thing to write a moany comment about.
