I attended the Home Coming concert last night here in Prague for Marketa Irglova in the Duo of Hansard & Irglová. They made the movie "Once" in 2006 and after the Sundance Film Festival in 2007, their popularity took off in a big way. It was held in the Archa Divadlo(Theatre) not far from náměstí Republiky in old town. It was remarkably excellent. The concert lasted for almost 3 and a half hours, including a 5 song encore. Her country has awaited her return and this is their first concert in the Czech Republic since garnering the Oscar in Feb 08 for the song "Falling Slowly". The theatre was packed and there were no seats; it was a standing (stani) only concert. I was standing in about the fourth "row" and had a great view most of time. It was worth the time standing in line and throughout this show. This event was outstanding. Marketa Irglová and Glen Hansard were brilliant. today is + 23
