Overview

If you're a fan of the 2007 movie Once starring Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, you'll know why I'm excited about this affable Irishman's inclusion in the Auckland Arts Festival this year. Hansard won Best Original Song at the Academy Awards for Falling Slowly and the film also gave a global audience exposure to his beautifully heartfelt and poignant style of folk rock.

Hansard will perform songs from his latest album Rhythm and Repose with his band The Frames. The up-and-coming indie folk singer Lisa Hannigan will also perform some of her own Irish soul.
