Description
Director John Carney’s 2007 small-scale musical Once features Frames front-man Glen Hansard and classically trained Markéta Irglová in a guy-meets girl love story, told largely though song.
Hansard and Irglova first happened upon one another when The Frames were touring the Czech Republic. Together they recorded an album in Prague, The Swell Season, released in April 2006.
The album’s haunting songs contributed hugely to the staggering success of Once, a love story set on the streets of Dublin.
This beautiful film won the audience award at Sundance in 2007 and a 2008 Academy Award (Best Original Song) for ‘Falling Slowly’.
Hansard and Irglova will be joined on stage by The Frames to perform songs from the film and more.
