In conjunction with the „Welthungerhilfe“ (World Hunger Aid) Viva con Agua is involved in three federal districts in northern India. The project is aimed at improving water availability for the residents and thus increasing the medicals and economic situation of the people. The donated money will be used to build drinking water, sanitary and irrigation facilities.
Help with your donation at https://www.betterplace.org/de/groups/christian-wiebes-spendenaktion to finance the current India project of Viva con Agua AND by this take part in the drawing for your chance to win a Glen Hansard signed acoustic guitar!
 
The „Takamine” guitar is a follow up model of the „NP15“, Glen played in the music film „Once” and is since then known to be the „hardest working guitar in show business“.
 
This charity action starts on the 21st of December 2012 and expires on the 28th of February 2013.
No.1 Guitar, Glen Hansard & The Frames would like to thank you for supporting Viva con Agua.

A Sense of Place with World Cafe

In December 2011, NPR’s ‘World Cafe’ featured Dublin in its ‘Sense of Place’ series. There is an audio portion here and then Glen takes host David Dye on a little walking musical tour of the city. See part 1 of 8 below. Click here to see the other 7 videos!

Throughout the week, World Cafe travels to Dublin, Ireland — the first stop in a quarterly series called Sense of Place. We hope to give you an idea of the past and present of the city’s local music scene and provide tips from musicians and music lovers for those hoping to visit this culturally rich town.
