Glen Hansard (Born Dublin, Ireland, 21 April,1970) is the vocalist and guitarist for Irish rock group The Frames. Hansard quit school at age 13 to begin busking on local Dublin streets. He first came to public attention as guitar player 'Outspan Foster' in the Alan Parker film The Commitments, a role he subsequently regretted, believing it distracted from his music career. In 2003 he presented the television programme Other Voices: Songs from a Room, which showcased Irish music talent on RTÉ. On April 21, 2006 he released his first solo album, The Swell Season, in collaboration with Czech singer and multiinstrumentalist Markéta Irglová.
