On O'Connor Street, he just set up a mock-up stage on O'Connor Street and he was just banging out music for whoever wanted to hear it.
And I got introduced to him by a friend of mine called Sparky.
Sparky said, Glenn, this is Dean Scurry.
And he said, Dean, this is Glenn Hansard.
And the two of us just looked in each other's eyes and said, we need to do something together.
And that was probably 45 years ago.
And 10 years ago, we walked into hell together, hand in hand, and done Apollo House together.
out of pure love.
Yeah, and Glenn kind of grew up in that.
You know, if you look back...
In his life, in his history, he had spent time in homeless accommodation.
He'd walked for Simon and campaigned to end homelessness.
And then about 10 years ago, I met him in JJ Smith's and we were at a little jazz gig and he asked me what was going on in the city.
And I said, look, there's 5,000 homeless people.
And he said, what do you want to do about it?
And I said, well, you might need to walk into hell with me.
And he said, I'll do that.
I'll do that.
And...
He'd done it in such a lovely and honest way.
