Vocalist and guitarist for Irish rock group The Frames. Hansard quit school at age 13 to begin busking on local Dublin streets. He first came to public attention as guitar player ‘Outspan Foster’ in the Alan Parker film The Commitments, a role he subsequently regretted, believing it distracted from his music career. In 2003 he presented the first series of Other Voices: Songs from a Room, which showcased Irish music talent on RTÉ. He released The Swell Season, his first solo album, on April 21st 2006, in collaboration with a Czech singer and multiinstrumentalist Markéta Irglová, Marja Tuhkanen and Bertrand Galen.

Glen recently starred in the movie ‘Once’ alongside Markéta Irglová which won a prestigious sundance audience award in 2007. It is due for Irish release on 23rd March 2007 and will appear in cinemas further afield later in the year.

Awards :
* Academy Award 2008 Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song) - “Falling Slowly” from Once (film).
