The Divine Comedy

A review of the Barbican show by Marco Gandolfi for Music News. Marco writes "The two hour show was a testament to Hannon’s craft, proving that sophisticated orchestral pop can still resonate with mass appeal." The link to the review is in our post. The photo shows Neil Hannon singing on stage with Rosie Tompsett on violin and Ian Watson playing an accordion.
