Rodrigo Leão é um compositor multi-facetado e por isso mesmo há muitas portas de entrada para a sua obra. Songs (2004-2012), álbum que Rodrigo Leão agora se prepara para editar, é uma delas. Concebido como o primeiro passo para uma possível trilogia que, ao mesmo tempo, revê matéria já lançada e ant...

The Divine Comedy at the Royal Festival Hall. It was Neil Hannon's 42nd birthday and a great time was had by all. The evening included party hats, party blowers (oh the noise), a cake, a giant no 42, lots of big present shaped boxes, a hidden string quartet, the whole of Promenade from start to fini...

Ontem Rodrigo Leão apresentou consigo Scott Matthew, Neil Hannon e Beth Gibbons, num espectáculo que não será esquecido.

E se à música de Rodrigo Leão juntarmos as vozes de Neil Hannon, Scott Matthewe Beth Gibbons (dos Portishead)? O resultado é um concerto arrasador, em que duas horas passam sem darmos por elas

Neil Hannon and Cathy Davey were amazing!! Loved their set!!

One of my heroes, he was delighted to meet me again (maybe I owe him money) in fact I probably do

The Divine Comedy es Neil Hannon. Él ha sido la única constante en la formación desde que nació allá por el 89 y su único integrante desde que el grupo se separó en el año 2001. Está claro, que su éxito es culpa de la arrolladora creatividad e ingenio que destila Hannon. Con 10 discos de estudio en ...

To mark the release of The Best Irish Album in the World... Ever on EMI, RTÉ TEN has copies of the Dublin album to give away.

The uber talented and lovely friend to Dirty Fabulous, Cathy Davey sung a duet with the equally amazing Neill Hannon for a romantic pre ceremony first dance for Caroline and Peter. There wasn't a dry eye in the house!

Running her own vintage boutique, Dirty Fabulous, in Dublin, Caroline was in the perfect position to plan her DIY circus themed wedding. She and fiancé Peter knew from the outset that they wanted something fun and unusual, and they had the perfect place in mind to host it. "We go to flea markets at...

A idade de 42 anos parece uma marca inofensiva. Para Neil Hannon, em jeito de desafio e brincadeira, tornou-se um fetiche que devia ser devidamente celebrado. Nada melhor, neste caso, que encher o Royal Albert Hall londrino com aficionados, instalar um piano e um quarteto de cordas para interpretar ...

Leos Carax's HOLY MOTORS is the film of 2012, and beyond that I'm not sure what to say. I've seen the movie twice, and both times I've walked out exhilarated, yearning to make sense of it all and happily flailing. Clearly, Carax is commenting on the state of the cinema, and, near as I can tell, arri...

Lundi dernier se terminaient à Londres les Masters de tennis, et il n’en fallait pas plus à mon esprit (sans doute) un brin dérangé pour essayer de concocter une playlist « de maître ». Voici donc pour vos oreilles le résultat de ces cogitations, en 10 coups de maître (ou presque).

Il s’en est fallu de peu pour que le présent article écope du titre “J’ai picolé du vin de messe avec Neil Hannon”, ou encore “Je me suis trimballé dans la sacristie avec Neil Hannon”. On s’explique.

Thursday at DLM Towers has gone into a Day/Night session."The music is reversable but time is not.."

Ha scelto quello che sicuramente per un musicista è il modo migliore per festeggiare il proprio compleanno: un palcoscenico. Neil Hannon, fondatore ed unico membro dei Divine Comedy, ha preferito celebrare questo giorno nella moderna eleganza della Royal Festival Hall, una delle punte di diamante della dinamica (e artistica) zona di South Bank. Sapeva che non sarebbe stato tradito proprio in questo giorno particolare, e infatti il teatro manca per pochissimo il tutto esaurito.

Birthdays - ruddy marvellous, aren’t they? Your birthday’s the one day of the year when it’s all about you, attention seeking behaviour is positively encouraged, and you’re allowed to wear badges without looking like an overgrown Boy Scout.

Finally, I am in a position to update myself. Wednesday night I dragged my husband to London and the Royal Festival Hall, where I was anticipating a night completely unlike the one I ended up with....

Neil Hannon is a Northern Ireland songwriter who says in this song that he was born in Londonderry and Derry city too. One of the many insane quirks of our Northern Ireland society is that the name of a town divides; the vast majority of Protestants call the city Londonderry and the vast majority of...

Having spent so long as the world's most critically underappreciated songwriter, how nice for Neil Hannon to celebrate his 42nd birthday (a Douglas Adams fan, perchance?) with a largely solo performance in front of a packed-out and suitably adoring Royal Festival Hall.

State pensando a come festeggiare il vostro compleanno? Quel triste giorno che aggiunge una tacca in più sull’inesorabile percorso verso “il-non-essere-più-giovani”? Magari una cena tra amici, pochi intimi, o un brindisi? Ma veramente, chi sopra i 20 anni ha ancora voglia di festeggiare?Neil Hannon,...

t was Neil's Glorious 42nd (birthday) and what a marvellous party it was. The birthday boy got the traditional song out of the way early and got on with the show. It's was his party and he was going to do what he wanted to. One of the guests, Alison Moyet (swoon) gave us the gift of 'Don't Go' and a...

Arriving at the grand surroundings of the Royal Festival Hall, gig-goers might be surprised that they’re given a paper hat and a party horn. The man on the door looks a bit embarrassed, and, in response to quizzical looks says, apologetically, “It’s his forty-second birthday today.” Ah. Welcome to t...

Unless they taped this, me and Neil Hannon are definitely not on speaking terms. Promenade! In Full! Bugger....

Aquesta nit (21h) concert a l'Auditori de Girona en el marc del Festival de Temporada Alta. Les localitats estan exhaurides.

Hannon és un artista superdotat per a la melodia, i això és precisament el que ens trobarem en aquesta gira tan especial: grans melodies, tant als auditoris com a les sales que s’han escollit per a aquesta ocasió. Melodies reduïdes a la seva essència, tocades només en piano o guitarra, no necessita ...
