This video was first released on my Patreon channel   / mylesoreilly   See all my music films there first, and some that will only remain there.

This creation of this film was totaly spontaneous. I was in Italy with Glen Hansard to direct two music video promo's for his new album. While we were there Glen had a gig in Ferrara, and I accompanied him shootingt B-Roll to include in the video for his song 'No Mountain'. There was some time to spare before his performance and we wandered in to a backstage area only to be met by the legend Jack Johnson and his band, who were sitting there with their instruments, warming up. Glen was then invited to jam a song with them, and I happened to have my camera with me. None of it was planned. The audio is from my camera, and I asked a friend Andrea Scarso to help me capture the concert audio on their phone. I asked Glen's good friend Seán to film a wide from on-stage with my phone. Both results were surprisingly great! If you had asked me before this event, did think it possible to shoot a live concert performance with only one camera, a phone and no audio from the desk, I would have laughed at the idea and yet here's the evidence that such spontaneous efforts can be rewarded!
