Il y a parfois des artistes dont on apprécie le travail sans forcément prendre le temps d'aller les voir sur scène. Et puis le jour où l'on saute le pas, on se dit que l'on est bêtement passé à côté de quelque chose d'important pendant toutes ces années. C'était en tout cas mon ressenti après avoir ...

Schon vier Jahre sind seit Neil Hannons letztem Album „Victory For The Comic Muse“ vergangen. Die Wartezeit auf ein neues Werk mag beträchtlich gewesen sein, auf eines ist jedoch Verlass: Bei The Divine Comedy bekommt man genau das, was man will – und das nun schon zum zehnten Mal. Auf „Bang Go

Avec ses allures de dandy un brin décadent, affichant son goût pour la poésie et l'art de vivre, Neil Hannon a séduit la France avant même de conquérir le monde anglo-saxon. Le chanteur irlandais, très marqué par la trajectoire de Scott Walker, Américain exilé à Londres, n'a cessé de baliser son par...

The Knowledge of Things To Come is my second solo album, and marks the continuation of my experimentation with live looping technology and ambient music. Each track is a live improvisation using the Looperlative LP1, a Line 6 Pod X3 Pro and my trusty Warwick Thumb VI.

Neil Hannon, corazón y cabeza de The Divine Comedy, es uno de los compositores más entrañables y respetados del planeta indie.

I love good music and so should you. However, listening to other peoples musical choices it has become apparent that my tastes need to be spread to the wider world. How I'm going to do this is easy - on my drive into work, my iPod will blast a randomised playlist at me and I will write about the 23

Perhaps nothing demonstrates Perkins's influence on a programme more than the way he prepared Father Ted for the screen. The script was brought to him originally as a mock documentary and he fashioned it into a powerful, comic vehicle that proved hugely popular. It was Perkins who found the location and he who chose the music (Neil Hannon's Songs of Love) that provided the show's quirky atmosphere. "Without Geoffrey," according to the writer Graham Linehan, "Father Ted would have been a cacophonous riot, and not nearly as loved as it is today. He gave the show a heart.

Gifts, of course, are an important birthday tradition, and the Divine Comedy's To Die a Virgin holds out the promise of the ultimate birthday present.

Neil Hannon’s Divine Comedy moniker, as it’s come to be, could scarcely be more apt. For over two decades now, he has been releasing music which consistently dazzles in scope and encodes itself into the listener’s DNA. The Divine? Why, that would be the frequently astoundingly beautiful nature of the music. The Comedy? That would be the elegant wordplay, ingenious rhyming schemes and playful delivery of the lyrics, all of which are rooted in the tradition of comedy in one way or another.

Neil Hannon is back with another stunning album under his The Divine Comedy guise and, in celebration of his return to the mainstream – heck, there’s even posters for Bang Goes The Knighthood on London underground – he was invited to play a solo show in the plush and open air environs of London’s exalted Somerset House venue

The Divine Comedy’s Neil Hannon is punk. There, I said it. Not punk like The Ramones or The Sex Pistols, of course. You might recall erstwhile hit singles like ‘Something for the Weekend’ and ‘National Express’ possessing a wry musicality and knowingly clever lyrics that may or may not have made you want to smash up everything in sight.

The twin musical geniuses of Neil Hannon from The Divine Comedy and Thomas Walsh from Pugwash have come up with The Duckworth Lewis Method, an album that has taken the world of cricket by storm with its thematic devotion to the gentleman's game. I caught up with them in The Brit Oval’s England Suite, no less, before they went on to perform the album in its splendid entirety in front of a rapturous audience…
