When Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova stopped by in July of 2007 they were in the midst of discovering what a word-of-mouth hit the indie film Once was becoming. Initially approached just to write the music, the couple ended up starring in the film as characters very much like themselves: buskers, who meet, work together and fall in love. We’ll hear performances of the now-familiar songs from the film and hear what recognition, after long being under-the-radar, sounds like in our conversation with the (a wee bit) awestruck Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova.
