Apparently it is not Glen's first go with this particular artistic medium. "Born in Dublin, Ireland in 1970, Glen Hansard is the lead singer, guitarist and a founding member of Irish rock group The Frames. He quit school at the age of 13 to begin busking on Dublin streets and gradually established himself as one of Irish music’s most popular and greatest talents. He first came to public attention as guitar player Outspan Foster in the Alan Parker film THE COMMITMENTS." 'Once' is "A modern day musical set on the streets of Dublin. Featuring Glen Hansard from the Irish band "The Frames," the film tells the story of a street musician and a Czech immigrant during an eventful week as they write, rehearse and record songs that reveal their unique love story." His love interest in the film is played by multi-instrumentalist Marketa Irglova. Marketa is only 19 and has been playing music since the age of seven. The two met while Glen was visiting Prague, Marketa's hometown. Just from the preview i can tell my sister is going to LoVE this movie since she adores The Frames to bits. Check out the trailer here.
