A somewhat tetchy Glen Hansard was the entertainment last night at the White House St Patrick’s party (Go to 3.00). Complaining about the sound quality, he interrupted his second song, The Parting Glass, by telling ushers to close the door as if it was Whelan’s on a Monday night.

He urged punters  – rather crankily – during the third number to click their fingers as he sung about going back to his home “in Chicago”.

Later he was joined by Tim Shriver for a particularly maudlin version of the very maudlin The Auld Triangle.

As Chompsky noted, while sniffing around the Rose Garden after the party: “He’s not doing my wedding.”
