Glen Hansard

An amazing Irish singer-songwriter. It was my first time seeing him and one of the best acts I saw at Glastonbury. I saw him in the Acoustic tent, which was decorated like a theatre. It was a long walk across the site to get there but well worth it. He had an orchestra backing him and he sings incredibly passionately. At one point he was singing into his guitar as though no one in the audience was there. At other times he played jokey covers of songs audience members shouted out. We had a good singalong to Fitzcarraldo.

Check out his solo work and also with The Frames and The Swell Season and the film/musical Once.
