In Italian premiere FOG presents the concert of the Northern Irish singer-songwriter Neil Hannon, with a live performance of tracks from his latest album, Charmed Life: The best of The Divine Comedy. The album celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of his musical project, The Divine Comedy, which fuses baroque pop with elements of classical music. With 24 tracks, the collection spans Hannon’s entire career, with his greatest and most acclaimed singles of the likes of National Express, Something For The Weekend, Songs of Love, Our Mutual Friend, A Lady of A Certain Age, To The Rescue e Norman and Norma. The album also features the brand new track The Best Mistakes.
The Divine Comedy is a musical project founded in 1990 by the Northern Irish singer-songwriter Neil Hannon. Over the years the band has included several musicians, but Hannon has always been its driving force. It was him who chose the name of the group when he was 18, sort of by chance, with two school friends. A year later he signed a contract with the Irish label Setanta Records. In 1990 the band moved to London and released a mini album, Fanfare for the Comic Muse, followed by the EP Europop in 1991. In 1993 The Divine Comedy released Liberation, which Neil considers his real debut album, much loved and acclaimed by critics.
