Music and personal memories filled St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin as family, friends and fans gathered to honor Glen Hansard on August 4.
During the funeral service, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder joined Markéta Irglová for a performance of Hansard’s The Song of Good Hope.
Irglová was Hansard’s longtime collaborator in The Swell Season and shared his Academy Award win for Falling Slowly, the song they wrote for the 2007 film Once.
The service brought together several well-known musicians and actors, including The Edge, Hozier, Imelda May, Steve Coogan and Chris O’Dowd.
Hansard was remembered for his work with The Frames, his international solo career and his annual Christmas Eve performances supporting homeless charities in Dublin.
