The Divine Comedy (An Evening With Neil Hannon).

Neil Hannon has shed his alter ego, put away his cricket pads, and written a wonderful new album ‘Bang Goes the Knighthood’ (on Divine Comedy Records).

Following last summer’s acclaimed ‘Duckworth Lewis Method’, Neil Hannon once again flexes his song writing muscle to Olympian effect. “Slip on your Barber jacket, jump in my old MG!” We’re off to the slightly warped, but reassuringly recognizable world of The Divine Comedy.  (Support act info for Divine Comedy please click here)

It’s a parallel universe filled with the likes of “The Complete Banker”, a scathing lampoon on the financial world; ‘Neapolitan Girl’, inspired by Norman Lewis’ ’ Naples ‘44’ wartime diaries; while the title track asks why the rich & powerful so frequently turn up in houses of ill repute.

‘Bang Goes the Knighthood’ is not a concept album though it does have a beginning, a middle and an end. It’s a novel experience.
