Arbutus Yarns Presents Glen Hansard at Iveagh Gardens
Myles O’Reilly brings us another gorgeously shot treat, this time Glen & the band performing at Iveagh Gardens in Dublin last month. He captures the mood of the gig & the crowd so brilliantly you’ll feel like you’re there. Click through to the Arbutus Yarns site to watch (25 minutes).
Square Pegs
Sometimes Graham gets together with a bunch of other musicians to play as Square Pegs! Just last week he joined Colm Quearny, Keith Duffy and tour mates Michael Buckley, Ronan Dooley, Curtis Fowlkes and Justin Carroll to pay homage to the sound of Chicago Blues, 50’s R&B & New Orleans Blues at Whelans. Here are a few photos from Jeanie McDonald & a video from their previous gig a couple months ago.
