Dublin music store Waltons has banned Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova's Oscar winning song Falling Slowly. The song from the film Once has become a hindrance for the shop's staff and they have said hundreds of people have attempted to play the song on the shop's piano.
During the film young Czech girl Marketa takes a busker played by Glen into the music shop so he can listen her play piano. It is here that they end up playing the song and it has been this scene that has become such an annoyance for Waltons. Some footage from the film can be viewed HERE
The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and was also nominated for two Grammy Awards in 2007.
A three part feature on Glen Hansard will be posted to this blog later in June.
Stay tuned.
