Hello & Welcome!

Hi hi hi & welcome to all the new eyeballs that have checked out the site in the last couple of days since Glen’s very kind tweet on Friday! We hope you come around often, there certainly is a lot to look at and we strive to add at least a few new things every week. We usually post a list of all the new additions every Thursday night (ish) so if you follow along on Twitter or Facebook you’ll be alerted to when that happens.

Here’s a little something to make your Monday more awesome. Just added 4 really fun songs from a 2004 festival gig at Marlay Park in Dublin- Hollocaine, Perfect Opening Line, Billie Jean & Where Is My Mind. Go have a listen and to anyone going to see Glen (and Graham & Joe!) tonight at Whelan’s, have a great time!

Hosting TG4’s Geantraí programme

In February 2009, Colm hosted TG4’s Geantraí programme along with his brother Darach. Colm hosts the show and plays along with several other musicians, including: David Sheridan (flute), Tony Byrne (guitar), Mairead Herlihy (concertina), Fergal O’Neill (fiddle), Oliver O’Loughlin (accordion), Darach Mac Con Iomaire (fiddle), Frank Tate (bouzuki), Paul Dooley (harp), Eoin Dillon (Uillean pipes), Aoife Nic Cormaic (fiddle) and Glen Hansard (guitar). Here are some clips from the episode:

ETA: 28 December 2012 we’ve added a video of the whole episode that irishmusiccentral uploaded to YT.

Lollapalooza 2006 // Chicago

We’re making an effort to regularly share things from the site with you all since there’s so much to see/hear/read…sometimes here, sometimes Twitter, sometimes Facebook. Sometimes all 3, like today! This is a favorite gig of ours, even though it’s not a full set. There’s a great video of Glen (and Rob!) dancing w/Beatle Bob (Wiki him) during God Bless Mom & we’ve posted Underglass from the show, just a part of an official recording you can get on iTunes of most of the performance.
