    Saw him last night in a pub last night with about 40 people. It was definitely a great experience. He is a nice guy and brilliant performer.

    What city/town were you in? Was it an announced show, or just a cool last minute thing?

    Ballycotton, Ireland. It was an announced show. They never "sold" tickets. I just pestered the poor guys on facebook. I'll put up some videos on youtube soon. I sat 5 feet away from Glen the whole time. He even mentioned his "friend" who dared him to write a sad song on the uke. I wonder who that was. :lol:

    Fans of Glen Hansard! Glen will be performing a special LIVE ON LETTERMAN set next Thursday, December 12 in NYC.
    First lucky fans who reply may be able to attend - bring a friend you get a pair of tickets (2 tickets).
    Please note - travel and accommodations are not included, only a pair of tickets to the performance if you are a winner.
    You will need to be at the Ed Sullivan Theater by 8 PM. Performance starts promptly at 9 PM.

    Couple notes for clarification.
    -Glen is appearing on Letterman TV show solo Thursday, Dec 12th, doing "Step out of the Shadows".
    -The folks at Letterman have offered us the chance to do a 45 minute set after the TV show ends.
    -This event takes place at The Ed Sullivan Theater and will happen with a full band.
    -If you can't make it to NYC, the event will also be webcast at CBS.com or Vevo.com, live that night.
    -We do have a limited number of spots for folks from Frames message board and our usual cast of repeat offenders :)
    - Email Howard with the subject "Glen Letterman" for a pair of tickets at: <!-- e --><a href="mailto:Howard@overcoatmgmt.com">Howard@overcoatmgmt.com</a><!-- e -->.
    -There are no secret shows in the works. This is your one chance to see Glen until likely later next year.

    Thanks.
