where it all began . . . for me . . . . . Glen meant a great deal to me since seeing him in the film for which he won the Oscar for this song.
I hadn’t spotted him that I recall in The Commitments where he started proper but since the wonderful ‘Once’ with his partner in song in The Swell Season, Marketa Irglova, their heartfelt song 'Falling Slowly' deserved its oscar for sure and I then followed his six album's worth of work with then band The Frames.
Glen sang at Shane MacGowan’s funeral most lately moving there everyone to tears, a unique and peerless star has gone out, we will not see his like again . . . and out saddest heartfelt best wishes go out to his wife, Maire and their little boy Christy (3) and family, loved ones, extended family and many countless colleagues
