But I will sign off the day with this from our wonderful Glen Hansard. He shows here his camaraderie on stage with the band and crew and love of the audience and his desire to never leave . . . . . . We are the poorer for his untimely tragic death . . . . .
This is how to end a show! Glen Hansard - gets the band and the audience to close with The Auld Triangle the famous poem by Brendan Beehan. . . . . a force of nature Glen could hold a crowd on his own but here with his band ( and even the roadies!) we will not see the like again and he will be sorely missed
This is a display of Joy! Sheer and true! in these times . . . . . .we need a brother like this
This popped up in the algorithms and don’t know why but I am not complaining and the album version was fine but I try to emphasise live performance recording here so hunted for this........

This was the emotional moment that the iconic Irish singer performed Fairytale of New York alongside Lisa O'Neill at Shane MacGowan's funeral in December 2023.
It was a performance that gained global attention as fans around the world mourned the death of The Pogues' frontman.
Tributes are flowing in for Falling Slowly singer Hansard, who sadly died in the early hours of this morning after a motorbike crash in Dublin.
He was treated at the scene by emergency services but died a short while later
