"Glen Hansard, front man with The Frames, has announced the release of a collaborative album with Czech singer and pianist Marketa Irglova. Accompanying the release he has also announced an Irish tour featuring Piano, Cello and Fiddle. After 18 months of constant touring with The Frames, Glen started 2006 by throwing himself into the making of a movie with original Frames bass player John Carney - appropriately enough Glen plays the part of a busker in the movie. Aside from the collaborative album and the movie, Glen will be writing and recording a new album with The Frames in 2006 which is pencilled in for release in September 2006. All of The Frames’ albums to date have achieved Double Platinum status. The band’s live album, Set List, has now gone four times Platinum."
