We are delighted to announce that the Footsbarn Travelling Theatre tent will be back in Ballynabuc on the Dingle Peninsula from August 18th to the 22nd. They finally get to bring their new production of James Stephens’ unique novel, “The Crock of Gold” to Ireland.

The essence of the idea was to create a piece of theatre with multi-national artists, which reaches way out beyond the boundaries of language, class and culture. Glen Hansard and Brendan Begley, who share the same respect for the novel as Footsbarn, came on board to write and play the original music that accompanies the performance live each night.

As the tent is in situ for the theatre piece, Footsbarn have invited some other musical friends to play a set after each performance of “The Crock Of Gold”. Each evening’s line-ups & links to more details/tickets at eventbrite can be found here.

I’m really sorry to report that I won’t be touring abroad for the rest of this year. Due to personal Family matters, I can’t travel too far from home right now. I’m needed here, and so I’ve had to make the difficult decision to cancel all touring for the rest of the year. This is an especially difficult decision after waiting so long to get back to work, my band and crew are at the forefront of my mind, along with all the people who’ve supported me/us and our music through the years.

Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding. The Frames anniversary show will go ahead as planned, as it is in Dublin and we’ve waited so long to do it.

Again my sincere apologies.
Glen
