My daughter bought me the DVD for Christmas and I've been obsessed with it ever since. The Once website on myspace lists that the tour will be at The Orpheum in Phoenix on April 23rd, but it's not on the calendar for the Orpheum. Only November is listed above, are there current tour dates?

I just finished watching once for the first time with my wife. We inted to buy the soundtrack tomorrow. I suffered a near-fatal heart attack on 19 January (actually flat-lined) and, quite frankly, was afraid to feel anything since. once and its soaring, beautiful, and hopeful music moved me to tears. Thank you for sharing your unique and wonderful gifts with the world, it is now a better place for it.

How about Aus

Please come to Melbourne Australia, we can't get enough of you !

missed you in sf, the movie and your music moved us so deeply, please come and play here again soon. You are loved here!

PLEASE COME TO HOUSTON TEXAS! we bought 8 dvds just to give out as gifts for Christmas!

PLEASE come to one of these locations:

-Mobile, AL
-Pensacola, FL
-New Orleans, LA
-Birmingham, AL
-Biloxi, MS

Like others who have posted, my husband and I would gladly travel to hear you both, but would especially love it if you came to St. Louis, Missouri. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie Once and were one of the lucky ones who got to see it in the theatre. We saw it three times, in fact, and now own it on DVD. The music is wonderful and the movie is beautiful. Thank you both for sharing a piece of yourselves with the world.

Holy Toledo is a wonderful place to have a
concert. Please Come to Toledo

no st. louis? that makes me sad

Your musical collaboration is magical. I'd do anything for you to do another tour in the U.S. Maybe this summer?! I love you so much and adore once. Please revisit

to see you guys, i'd travel but most conveniently i would love if you came to any city east of chicago-New york, Philly, D.C., ect. PLEASE!! I'm your biggest fan ever!!!!!!!!!!!positively!!

Please consider another tour in the US. I live in Santa Fe, NM. We have the most perfect place for you to play, The Lensic Theatre. NM is a magic place, you'd love it.

PHILLY PLEASSSSSEEE!

Please come to Dallas. This was the most wonderful movie I have ever seen and cannot take it out of my car. Several guitar players in the family and we watched you both on dvd xmas eve. It was a wonderful movie. I wish we could have seen it at the theatre. Love, Love the music and lyrics.

Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, the two of you sung your way into my heart and have acted your ways onto my top 5 people I'd kill to have a cup of coffee with. Your music is... I would say beautiful, but honestly the word does no justice to the magical sounds the two of you have created with one another. Let this painfully pitiful internet post weasel it's way into the softest places of your big hearts, and please, PLEASE come to Dallas TX. Your film moved me to tears and the music left me in puddle on the floor. I'd absolutely love to see you live. <3

you guys missed your real audience, the DVD renters....

2008 schedule in US please...
or maybe with damien rice in ireland,,,

see you there,,,,

Would love to see your concert schedule for 2008!

Please come to Philadelphia!!!!!!!! It's a great town for music!

PLEASE come back to Chicago!!!! Or tour in Minneapolis!!! PLEASE!!! If I can see your passion in a movie I can ONLY imagine how amazing you guys are live!!!! PLEASE!!!! :-)

YES YES YES - We watched Once tonight and it was "fu$*ing" awesome!!!! You haven't been anywhere unless you've been to OHIO. Please come!!!! Wow, A refreshing change of entertainment! We sang and played along. p.s. Tell Gerry nice Martin.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED U WHEN YOU CAME TO AUSTIN - COME B-A-A-A-CK, please?!!!!!! Maybe SXSW Music Festival!!!

Something Glen and Marketa need to know is that most people didn't see "Once" in the theaters because it didn't get the media coverage, so it wasn't very well known until it hit the video shelves. Now there are many people like me who have fallen in love with the movie, music, and the singers and we would really like to be able to see you on tour again.

Please consider touring again...I'm sure I'm not the only one who didn't even know about you the first time you toured.

I'm one of them!!! I saw it a week before the Oscars and I "fell slowly" with every scene, every song sung, every line...bought the soundtrack from iTunes right after and I have it playing in the car, at work and when I get home. I breathe, eat and sleep "Once", Glen and Marketa, The Swell Season--anything that has a connection w/ them! But I can't believe they were at the Wiltern in November 2007--that's less than a mile from me!

Glen and Marketa, please kindly put L.A. on your list again. Although, I am seriously considering flying to NY in May to see you at the Radio City Music Hall. It'll be way more affordable though if I don't have to :(

More power and much love to you!!!
