More on Markéta Irglová
Description from Wikipedia:
Markéta Irglová (born February 28, 1988, in Valašské Meziříčí, Czech Republic) is an Academy Award-winning songwriter, musician, actress and singer. As of 2008, she resides in Dublin.
Irglová began playing music at age seven, and began playing piano at the age of 8 when her parents bought her a piano and sent her to lessons. When she was nine, her father bought her a guitar and she immediately began playing and learning songs by ear.
She collaborates with Glen Hansard of the Irish rock band The Frames, whom she met when he was visiting Valašské Meziříčí, and performs with him as The Swell Season. She and Hansard began dating while making the film Once.They released an eponymous album -The Swell Season - on Overcoat Recordings in 2006. In 2007, she co-starred with Hansard in the indie movie Once, written and directed by John Carney. Hansard and Irglova wrote all of the songs featured in the film. The movie won the World Cinema Audience Award for a dramatic film at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. In 2009 Hansard said that he and Irglova were no longer romantically linked, and that they are now "good friends."
She said:
“Hi everyone. I just want to thank you so much. This is such a big deal, not only for us, but for all other independent musicians and artists that spend most of their time struggling, and this, the fact that we’re standing here tonight, the fact that we’re able to hold this, it’s just the proof that no matter how far out your dreams are, it’s possible. And, you know, fair play to those who dare to dream and don’t give up. And this song was written from a perspective of hope, and hope at the end of the day connects us all, no matter how different we are. And so thank you so much, who helped us along way. Thank you.”
