A sensational 10-piece band brings you the story of the 20th century through music, archive film, and vintage photographs. This is epic, multimedia music theatre at its best. Suitable for everyone 10+.

«É por isso que embora, de Promenade a Casanova ou Fin de Siècle, se possam degustar iguarias músico-literárias de finíssimo paladar»O "A short album about love" é um belíssimo disco também.

My first festival was V97 in Chelmsford and one of the things I was most excited about was seeing Ash live. The Divine Comedy were on a couple of acts before Ash and were excellent, Neil Hannon is a charming and debonair frontman with wit and verve to spare. But when it came time for Ash to do Oh Y...

I en lång intervju frågade Zero ut Neil Hannon om det nya albumet Bang Goes the Knighthood, vad som får vuxna karlar att gråta, hur man blir anglofil och vilka som egentligen varit de mest underhållande sexskandalerna inom brittisk politik under senare år.

The Divine Comedy es un grupo de indie pop originario de Irlanda del Norte y formado en 1988. La banda está liderada por Neil Hannon compositor, cantante, guitarrista, pianista y único miembro estable del proyecto, aunque a lo largo de los años han pasado por él una larga lista de músicos. Mezcla lo...

He was in with his local GP for a routine check-up and before leaving he made a light hearted remark about needing a cure to help him remember people’s names.

Thanks so much to Jason Brown for the fantastic interview! Back in April 2010 I wrote about this fantastic band from Manchester and happily some days ago Jason got in touch with me to clarify and answer any questions I may had! Great to learn that there are many unreleased songs by this band, and a ...

The Divine Comedy - Duke Special, musique (rock, pop, independant), cinema, livres, litterature, expos et plein d'autres choses... a decouvrir

En ce frais soir d'octobre, on s'apprête à voir ou plutôt à découvrir sur scène un grand nom de la pop anglaise : The Divine Comedy !

The Divine Comedy est la surprise de ce festival, puisque le groupe est un invité de dernière minute, suite au retrait de Auntie David.

The Divine Comedy est de retour à la veille de l'été. Neil Hannon, auteur-compositeur-interprète reprend seul les commandes du navire et nous propose son neuvième album, Victory for the comic muse, titre clin d'œil au premier album de l'Irlandais, Fanfare for the comic muse.

De plus en plus habitué aux salles de spectacle un peu chic et aux orchestres philharmoniques, Neil Hannon et sa Divine Comedy nous avaient enchantés lors de leur passage à Paris, tant au Grand Rex qu'aux Folies Bergères.

Aaaah, ça y’est, il est sur ma platine… Après avoir usé Regeneration jusqu’à la corde me voilà enfin face à Absent Friends, le nouvel album de Neil Hannon alias The Divine Comedy.

Neil and his band keep a consistently high quality throughout, even making a good stab at The Associates' 'Party Fears Two', daunting at the best of times.

Neil Hannon is in high spirits tonight, which is all the better for setting the scene for his tales of love, lust and lost property.

'No beer and no dancing make Homer something, something…' is what I often murmured to myself as I sat through Ben Folds. While The Palais is an awesome venue, and this was an awesome show, strict seating and a ban on alcohol in the main hall stopped it from providing the full concert experience - es...

When a band have been doing the rounds as long as Pugwash, an element of suspicion often colours peoples' opinions of them. In other words, there must be something wrong with them, right? Why do they only ever play in Ireland? Why haven't they made it big (or at least bigger) after four good albums? Are they content to remain on the boundaries of success, relegating their passion to 'hobby' status?

Since discovering Pugwash eight or nine years ago I've become aware of a certain pattern in Thomas' albums. They keep getting better! The Olympus Sound contains another dazzling array of huge sounding, brilliantly catchy pop gems. But where things really step up a gear is in the lyrics. They are well constructed, psychologically interesting, and often very moving. Fall Down, I Don't Like It But I've Gotta Do It, Dear Belinda, they tease out the kernel of truth from the seemingly mundane. My personal favourite though, and maybe the best song Thomas has ever written, is To The Warmth Of You. The words are beautiful, out of focus, almost trippy. The acoustic and string arrangement is outrageously sublime. And we musn't forget Mr. Tosh Flood in all this! Late of Saville, Tosh's guitar and voice have added a powerful soulful edge. / Neil Hannon

The label says their "hearts go out to everyone affected by the riots".

The distribution hub for records from Britain's independent labels could be an unwitting casualty following last night's rioting in London (8 August). Although the full extent of the damage is still being assessed, an attack on a warehouse in Solar Way, Enfield could have implications of PIAS who provide the distribution for many indie labels.

Vous ne le dites à personne. Je peux vous faire confiance. Bon, alors voilà… j’ai un petit peu peur dans les avions.

Por volta de 1300, Dante Alighieri divertiu-se a imaginar como seria a vida pós-terrena, numa incursão em forma de poema à sauna do Inferno, ao stress do Purgatório e à boa vida do Paraíso. Quase setecentos anos depois, Neil Hannon apropriou-se do título desse poema épico e criou os The Divine Comed...

Ho sempre immaginato Neil Hannon scrivere le proprie canzoni in una di quelle villette in legno in stile vittoriano, col giardino avanti e una serie infinita di oggetti dentro. I The Divine Comedy sono una delle creature più british del panorama musicale degli ultimi vent’anni, capaci di riprendere

Non avrei mai pensato che sarei riuscita ad ascoltare qualcuno parlare di cricket per quaranta minuti di fila. In realtà, non ho proprio mai pensato al cricket.
