Czechs Today Marketa Irglova - one of the Czech Republic's most precocious musical talents
If you have seen Jan Hrebejk's latest film "Beauty in Trouble", you would have heard several songs on its soundtrack by Glen Hansard from Irish group The Frames and Czech vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Marketa Irglova. Last year, this duo's critically acclaimed LP The Swell Season debuted in the Irish album charts at number five and was to remain in the top thirty there for several weeks. Although Glen Hansard is no stranger to such success having been a well known figure on the Irish and international music scenes since the early 1990s with his band The Frames, it was the first time his collaborator Marketa Irglova came to widespread attention.
