The more I learn about him the more I like him!! Lovely fella 😊

[@nomi34]

Somehow this guy's songs in once are something I can't have enough of

[@Dermo1985]

It kind of sounds like he was a nobody before the Oscar or the movie but the fact is that Glen has been one of Ireland’s highest regarded musicians for a long time now it’s just that now he’s being truly recognised worldwide!

[@Mostafa20268]

Real artist filled with emotions and had struggled to achieve what he deserved..and a real gentleman and loving son..how great to find such a wonderful talented people making their lives by spreading love and music to the others.

[@HelenMyers]

A great interview. What a lovely, genuine man.

Absolute legend of an Irishman. All Glen's gigs and songs are amazing. Proud to be Irish when I hear of stories like this. G'wan Glen! :)

[@iambeadman]

This is amazing. I've seen Hansard live many many times and met him twice but this little film shows another side to him, a lesser known side, a great side. Deadly, as we say in Dublin.

[@twirlgrrl]

I just love his passion and his talent.

[@judyking1702]

Never heard of him until this movie, I loved it. And now am a fan of Hanford

[@mariamajetic2523]

We need more artists like Glen!

[@StinkySpatula]

He is such a gentleman! it would be incredible to meet him and talk about songwriting.

[@TheCedilia]

I was first "introduced" to Glen back in the day when ONCE was released and I've loved his music ever since. Never knew he grew up with an abusive alcoholic father like me. In a weird way it makes sense - beautiful music like his doesn't just happen.
