The Divine Comedy, 3rd Black Session (#249), Paris, 23rd June 2006Neil Hannon's music seems ideal for the French audience to me, very Gainsbourgesque in his tongue in cheek sexiness. This was recorded while they promoted their last release, Vistory for the Comic Muse, and fingers crossed ther'll be another album soon, despite Hannon's current work with Pugwash's Thomas Walsh in The Duckworth Lewis Method (a name taken from a scoring system in cricket). Enjoy!

Bless you! We in the States have (for the most part) sadly missed out on Mr. Hannon and his marvelous band, so this rare live outing is a particular treat for these ears.
Thanks for this and all the great music.
Yeah, I have very much a soft spot for Neil, he does have a rather British wit. A perfectly lovely fellow :)
Aaah, I love your blog. So many great quality recordings from so many of my favourite artists. I'm basically obsessed with The Divine Comedy :) Thanks for this!
