rdf:langString Interference is an Irish band based around the late singer-songwriter Fergus O'Farrell. The band is featured in the Academy Award-winning movie Once. Amidst the performances by the main characters, played by the Swell Season duo of Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, Interference have a cameo moment and play O'Farrell’s song "Gold". Interference have also had songs included in the soundtracks for Alan Gilsenan’s All Souls Day and Damien O’Donnell’s Inside I'm Dancing, both critically acclaimed films. A collaboration with Glen Hansard, the song ‘Don’t Go Down’ features in another John Carney film, Sing Street. Interference have appeared three times on the Irish television show Other Voices. One such appearance was a one-hour Interference special which led to the release of the live CD Interference Live in Dingle: Songs from Another Room. In 2018, Trinity College Dublin’s Music Society awarded Interference an Honorary Patronage to the College faculty in recognition of their contribution to Irish Music. A film documentary on the life of O'Farrell entitled Breaking Out was released in November 2021. Filmed over ten years, it follows O'Farrell and his band from their own recording studio set-up in Dublin in the early '90's to their triumphant performance in Radio City Music Hall in 2008 with Hansard and the Swell Season and onwards to the last recording sessions, O'Farrell’s death from muscular dystrophy in early 2016 and the release in 2017 of their last album The Sweet Spot. To accompany the film a soundtrack album has been compiled, featuring the 31 interference tracks heard in the film. Eleven of these have been re-mastered by 12-time Grammy award winning Bob Ludwig in Gateway Mastering Studios, Portland, Maine, USA. Interference still perform live with Hansard often assuming lead vocals, or as their alter ego Dogtail Soup.
