Liveline · Death of Glen Hansard · 29 Jul 2026 podcast

There he is, right there.

I've got my dad, Joe, and I'm sitting and Christy's here in my arms and he's listening to the phone.

He's amazing.

Ten months old.

Christy.

Oh.

Well, I named him after my friend, Mick Christopher.

But of course, there's a bit of Christy Moore and there's a bit of Christy Dignam, of course.

It's just a real Dublin name and we wanted to give him a Dublin name.

Yeah, and like you said, he remembered his friend Mick Christopher and Christy Digman was part of his story and Christy Moore.

That's that thing of being at the heart of the community of it all.

Yeah, thanks.

Thanks for those words, Dean.

You summed it up and, you know, I hope to God I can celebrate his life.

But at the moment, I really can't, you know.

I'm doing my best.

I'm working at the moment.

And when I heard the news this morning, I just didn't think I would react the way I am reacting inside myself, you know.

I met Glenn 40 years ago in a place called the Wildebeest Restaurant just off Grafton Street, a friend of mine.

And Glenn used to come in, I remember him, he had rodent red hair, curly hairs, and he'd come over and he'd get onto this old piano that was in bits, and he would bang away at it, and he'd come in every day.
