Glen Hansard’s charm and humility

Patrick Peake, a former student from London, recalls a personal interview with Glen Hansard, the Irish musician and actor known for 'Once,' during his time at university in Bristol. Peake describes Hansard as exceptionally generous with his time, taking over 45 minutes to engage with a student's questions despite being an Oscar-winning artist. Hansard's kindness extended beyond the interview, as he recognized Peake's Northern Irish accent, ordered Guinness for both himself and the student, and engaged in a thoughtful discussion about Ireland. Peake concludes by expressing deep admiration for Hansard, calling him a 'great loss to all.'
