The Divine Comedy

Having now completed his third full decade as a recording artist, The Divine Comedy (aka Neil Hannon) is back.

With monumental tracks ‘National Express’, ‘Something For The Weekend’, ‘Songs of Love’, ‘Our Mutual Friend’, ‘A Lady of A Certain Age’, ‘To The Rescue’ and ‘Norman and Norma’, the Northern Irish die-hard Manchester United fan is now a national treasure and one of the finest singer-songwriters of his generation.

Hannon wrote the original songs for the Warner Bros blockbuster ‘Wonka’ which he says “My musical output is, for better or worse, a representation of my personality. A good chunk of that personality revels in the rumbumptious; celebrates the silly. And I made ample use of that for the Wonka songs. I have though, like everyone, a darker, more melancholy side. And for one reason or another it has been much in evidence of late. I needed to use this album as an outlet for those feelings. To work through some stuff. Mortality; memories; relationships; political and social upheaval. Everyone should get to make an orchestral pop album once in a while. It should be available on the NHS.“
