Nice news. With Winnipeg’s downtown Keg moving, an arcade bar called Greta will be moving in. Their fourth location, joining ones in Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver. https://t.co/Rw48YrHioY
Sometimes I would wonder if Glen Hansard really existed….
Seriously, he was such an angelic presence… not otherworldly…in fact, very present this presence…
A smiling rascal if you needed him to be… this most musical and mischievous archangel of Ballymun… no airs, plenty of graces...
Of course, Glen was the shining star of the Christmas Eve busk… sometimes the only one reminding the rest of us that Christmas began with a refugee born in a manger, which is hardly a step from living on the street.
To be utterly yourself by being more interested in others - a clue for any of us trying out different personas. He really was who you thought he was. He could never walk by a person living rough without checking they were OK… and more than that, he worked very hard so that less people had to live on the streets in the first place.
When the crowds got bigger and for safety’s sake Glen had to agree to move the busk to a stage kindly provided outside The Gaiety Theatre, he would say 'we’ll give it our best but it’s not a busk if we’re not on the street!’ …because that’s who he was - a performer at eye level in any situation. The stage was a separation he wouldn’t recognize. Of all the grand and gigantic venues he and The Frames played, you sensed the street was his most favoured place to perform. And street people, his favourite audience.
Voice of the streets. A choir of angels in one man. The rest of us blessed to stand there beside our very own and very earthed Angel Gabriel… All of us welcome in his choir, whatever shape or form.
….and I’m telling myself this morning that if he never existed, then he can never cease to exist. For me, he will always be everywhere I see a coin spinning into an open guitar case.
May you rest in the peace you gave to so many.

Mexico is proud to stand with Canada in times of need, just as friends and partners do. 🇲🇽🇨🇦. Our firefighters are highly trained, experienced, and courageous professionals. They have come not only to help combat these wildfires, but also to support the Canadian people.
This is what the Canada–Mexico partnership is about: solidarity, cooperation, and standing together when it matters most.

Few buildings have witnessed Calgary’s evolution quite like the #KingEddyYYC. Over its 120-year history, it’s been everything from a railway-era hotel and prohibition hotspot to “Calgary’s Home of the Blues.” Today, it’s a thriving live music venue where history continues to be made.
Celebrate over 120 years of King Eddy history with NMC Presents: Eddy Fest, from Aug. 14-16, and honour every era of this legendary venue’s story. Get tickets at https://t.co/EQ1aBY5Cpa.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the @AirCanada pilots and their families who lost their lives in NY. Such a tragedy. Thinking of all the passengers as well as they battle through the mental and physical effects of this. So sad. ❤️🙏
