There’s a tradition at Christmas of watching any old rubbish that appears on the TV; silly films, dusted off sitcoms, that sort of thing.

There’s also a tendency to break out some of the new DVDs that Santa threw down the chimney. Last year the extended clan watched thon awful Barley nonsense. And this year we all watched a film I’d never even hear of: Once.

And for all the not hearing about it, it’s actually a very good film. Despite being a low budget, independent Irish effort.

I humbly suggest you have a watch of it if the opportunity presents.
