MUSIC NEWS: Glen Hansard was in Schull last weekend where he was part of a fitting farewell for his friend and collaborator Fergus O’Farrell, but it will undoubtedly be a happier few days ahead for the Frames singer as he spends time in the US for the Grammy awards. Hansard is up against the likes of Bela Fleck and Norman Blake in the best folk album category at Monday’s ceremony in Los Angeles.

Even if he doesn’t win, the Dubliner will be treated to a live performance from the all-conquering Justin Bieber with his producers Skrillex and Diplo. Other live acts on the night will include Adele and Kentrick Lamar. Meanwhile, the legendary parties hosted by DJ Kool Herc get a nod on the opening episode of Vinyl on Sky Atlantic on Monday, and it has also been announced that the section of Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx, New York, where those seminal events took place is to be renamed Hip-Hop Boulevard. Music history on this side of the Atlantic has also been recognised this week with the opening of a museum at Jimi Hendrix’s former London home in Mayfair.
