Born in a less than salubrious northside suburb of Dublin, Hansard’s early passion for music spilled out into the streets when he quit school at 13 to live the life of the busker, a life which was captured in the hit film, Once. The Broadway adaptation, Once, The Musical, has won eight Tony Awards and an Olivier award. Now, he’s heading to Australia years later with a wealth of solo music and tunes from his band The Frames behind him.
