I doubt it. I just got their mail out, no mention of it. Mainly about the film, & their European & American tours coming up. Maybe its confusing his occasional solo career as leaving the band ... He is currently touring (sans Frames) with the czech girl from The Sweel Season.

The Frames without Hansard would kinda be like Crazy Horse without Neil Young. I'd be surprized if he left. Here's my favorite Glen/Frames joke: Q: What is the collective noun for a group of singer-songwriters? A: A Hansard. (Can't really take credit for it, think it was Jim Carroll's?)

Exactly, he couldn't leave The Frames, he is The Frames, would be the end of the band. As said I guess they just mean his solo project.

i believe there are solo projects being worked on by the frames lead guitarist and fiddle player as well... we'll see what the others are made of with those releases...

Nah, he's not leaving, I've read lots of interview saying the very opposite. Colm Mac Con Ionmaire's solo violin stuff is amazing, he did some at a recent Frames gig in Vicar street and did support for Eoin Dillion a few weeks ago. Rob Bochnik the guitarist has a solo album out imminently. I'd say they'll keep at the band though.

Words cannot aptly describe how great the day will be when the Frames break up.

What? well, everyones entitled to have different taste in music of course, but god, have you ever been at a frames gig, the feckin brillant and varied music along with the fun and good energy in the room are something else. I think they are great, love the violin combined with amazing guitar and lyrics, each to his own......

I have been to Frames gigs in the distant past, good live despite endless between song rambling, but their fans started scare me after a while. You kept thinking any minute now the Cult of the Ginger One are gonna pass around the cyanide kool-aid. No idea what the atmosphere at a Frames gig is like nowadays though.

ITs the same Branch Davidians kind of thing
