Remember this stellar performance as shown at
Creative Minority Report? Since then, I learned the identity of the guitar player.
Glen Hansard of Dublin, Ireland, who is one half of the duo known as
The Swell Season, which also includes Czechlands-native Markéta Irglová. Together they won an Oscar in 2008 for Best Original Song for
“Falling Slowly”, from the film
"Once", in which both of them co-starred, and which was perhaps the most co-dependent cinematic love story since
"Jeremy" in 1973.
This next clip is from a 2007 performance at Amoeba Records in San Francisco, where he seems a little more sure of himself. What can you expect, since he doesn't have to compete with a guy
who can't sing his way out of a paper bag like Bono?
It's times like this that I consider how I may have gone into the wrong line of work, don't you think?
Or don't you?
