Came for Dante, Stayed for the music

I've recently re-discovered The Divine Comedy. In my opinion, Neil is one of the most talented performers alive today... very well crafted pop music!

hero. thank you.

[@laceyknicks6863]

Thank you so much

[@RyKells]

Legend!!!

[@michaelcunningham7363]

Ah no, thanks but no thanks - it needs to be watched from the start to finish

[@confessionsofanenglishlopi5292]

Neil Hannon sums it up by not only his music but the quality of his fans comments. I raise a glass to you all!

[@SM-je3dh]

To US all!

[@nickyforrest1561]

Just found this by accident, but Just love Divine Comedy hand have done for almost 20 years!! Thank you Neil & Band

[@CapucineSky]

A cool thing those watching might like to know from someone who was there that night is that The Booklovers was also performed, and Cillian Murphy came on stage to read a bit from his favourite book. My memory has faded but The Ginger Man by J. P. Donleavy rings a bell.

[@jasonhudson4209]

Musically and lyrically, I doubt that it gets better than this sublime performance.

[@dagostinoification]

Splendide concert , magnifique concert, magnifiques arrangements, mélodies ,climats ....Superbes.

My 'go to place' to chill.God bless Divine Comedy.

[@timnosuke]

Yes, me too. Must have listened to this over 200 times...still makes me stop in mid tooth-brushing to marvel at 1:29:50...the emotion and message and poetry of this song...

[@crustyballs5017]

Perfect antidote to having to listen to capitol fm at work all day. :)

[@BATERO1975]

Listening 2021 during second COVID Lockdown!! Neil is just a genius! .... this music is just GOLD!

[@clairecraig6377]

I was at this performance and it was incredible... but a sad omission from the recording was when Cillian Murphy came out and read an extract from his favourite book to the instrumental The Booklovers....

[@michaelcunningham7363]

Really?

[@davidwing3655]

I am now a Divine Comedy convert, I think this guy is hugely talented.
He has the feel of a great songwriter, great to listen to, class act.

[@S7EVE_P]

There are moments when it's so like a Frank Sinatra gig. Beautiful music. Neil is a genius.

[@OsoMarcol]

I attended a Neil's show here in Oslo a couple of months ago. A great experience. A marvellous and talented artist! A underrated genious.

[@katiecliffe8454]

[@montyburns4009]

The Scott Walker (five easy pieces ) is entrenched throughout this masterpiece.

[@musicloverUK]

And so many good songs since this date too...Just discovering/buying up some of Neil Hannon's back catalogue after 20 years away... some corkers on Victory for the Comic Muse and Foreverland... and a new album is out on 7th June and the DC are touring again this year.

[@johnbrown6012]

I didn't even know this lot were still going! Thought they'd disappeared in the 90s.

[@EnosEverything]

This LOT are not still going... Neil sacked his band some years back and he retained the name THE DIVINE COMEDY for his album releases and shows...All his band are hired studio musicians and friends.

[@charlesrae3793]

Quality, sheer quality.
