Glen Hansard is unbearable cringe.

Nails on a blackboard wouldn’t be half as bad. Hands down one of the most overhyped and overrated musical offerings that this country has ever produced. All of his cheesy songs sound the same. I bet they play his stuff in Guantanamo bay.

I don't really give a toss about his music it is easily ignored...id be more worried about the other things surrounding him tbh...

The music was ok but he just always has a cause now and always preaching. Pain in the ass.

None I'm sure, but I didn't know if you wanted to have an opinion you had to have an award on the topic of discussion?

Lots of questionable oscars handed out over the years. His was one of them. That movie he was in was pure cheese, just like the song he won the Oscar for.

Ah, the frames were good 25 years ago..
Couldn't be listening to him now sh1teing on trying to channel Luke Kelly..

He met a 13 year old girl when he was in his thirties. Groomed her (as a musician) for the next five years. Then had a romantic relationship with her.

That is fncked up any way you look at it.

Stuffs circulating about him and some of his singer songwriter cohorts on Twitter at the moment. They're apparently back and forth to the Czech republic a lot. Keep in mind that he conveniently declared he was starting a relationship with his costar as she turned 18.

Listening to the Once album right now, prompted by this thread. Loved the movie and the soundtrack.

I wouldn't have any difficulty ignoring him if he annoyed me - which he doesn't.

I think it's funny the way it's phrased with the woman Marketa Irglova. If she came forward and said she was groomed then the reliable crew of boards.ie posters would be along to tell everyone why she's wrong (too long ago, wrong way to talk about it, her word against his, diminishes "real" sexual assault etc.) and its completely wrong to blacken the name of an innocent man. I have no idea what happened BTW.

Some massive bangers on the Once album.

The Commitments and Once are 2 very good Irish movies in fairness.
I didn’t realise the polish bird in once was so young, or that he had known her since long before they made the movie. Hadn’t even heard of her until that film.

There is a support thread for this: Glen Hansard Victim Support Group https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057584007

And, to be honest, even if a relationship only started when she turned 18, he knew her from when she was 12 (and he was in his 30s at the beginning) so it’s still gross. Woodie Allen and Soon Yi Previn type gross.

No wonder he was so liked in Hollywood

Just to point out that she's Czech, not Polish. Don't think anybody heard of her before the film.

She lives in Iceland now with her Icelandic husband.

An ex of mine used to love him. I used to play him singing 'I'm the bananaman' to cheer her up when she was in a bad mood. I don't know what we ever saw in each other.

OP if you want to discuss Glen Hansard's music I suggest the Music Forum.

In relation to comments regarding the Twitter allegations After Hours is not the place for these type of threads, they are more suited to Current Affairs.
