Live music from the Irish film Once
A lot of people continue to ask me about the music from the Irish film Once.
If you don’t like The Frames then I imagine you might not like this music - not that it’s the same, though.
I think I’ve mentioned that Once stars, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, are touring at the moment under the collaboration formed last year, The Swell Season.
Well, they’ve added some extra dates to their tour, but you still can’t see them in Kansas City. However, you can listen to them live courtesy of NPR, and they’re also making some TV appearances in the near future.
UPDATE: The NY Swell Season gig has received a rave review from Whatevs (dot org)

And Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova makes its debut on Subterranean on MTV2, on Monday, June 30, 2007 at 1:00am - or what I call Sunday night.
Once continues to show at the Tivoli in Kansas City, and talking to the staff at the weekend I hear it continues to pull in the crowds in KC, 6 weeks after being released.
