“End Of The Road is one of the most beautiful festivals ever,” says John Grant, relishing his imminent return to Larmer Tree Gardens. “The crowd is really just heavy-duty music fans, and the setting is so special. I’m a tree freak, you
know? I really love to be in amongst the trees. I know that might sound extremely basic but it’s an amazing thing.”
Like everyone else, Grant is excited to be out in the wild again. He’s just debuted his new live show at Terry Hall’s Home Sessions in Coventry, which involves him getting more hands-on with the technology. “I can rearrange songs on the fly if I want to and remix them live. I’ve been working on a redo of ‘Queen Of Denmark’ which is really fun and nasty and gigantic.” But when his own set is over, who else at End Of The Road is he hoping to catch?
