Glen Hansard @ St Columbs Hall, Derry

Renowned for his dynamic live shows, Hansard, like so many, navigated the pandemic by doing random pop-up shows on Instagram, which turned out to be a rewarding and worthwhile way to stay connected to his fan base. However, it could never take the place of the real thing and Hansard and company are anxious to grace a mixture of new and familiar stages in 2023 / 2024. Whilst all his live shows are special it is fair to say that the Christmas gigs are the stuff of legend and always feature a variety of surprise guests and deep cuts. With a new album on the way , - " All That Was East Is West Of Me Now " is due out October 20th. Hansard released new single The Feast Of St John in July 23.
