nori1980The brilliance that is Neil Hannon and the Divine Comedy took me by surprise tonight!
I wanted to see him/them live in ages, but once I got the ticket I was pretty calm and didn't even look forward to it as I should've!!
So, first off, the support act "Duke Special" from Belfast was BRILLIANT. Just him on the piano and his funny , clownish drummer.
Unfortunately the CD thatkaoru_is_here bought afterwards isn't nearly as good as what he did live .. boohoo..
I kept telling Jonas that Mr Hannon is a really small man, but he didn't believe me *LOL*
And then he came on stage the tiny man. In a suit and shades. Kinda looked like a mixture between Martin Short and Billy Boys.. Really.
I loved the concert from the beginning to then end! Maybe because I didn't have high expectation the surprise hit me even harder!
It was such an entertaining show. The band is fabulous and Neil Hannon has an amazing voice ( I think it's the guiness he drinks on stage!!) and is quite a funny lad. Not big with jokes, but a dry british humour and brilliant grimaces!
National Express, the second to last encore killed me..
It is one of my favourite songs of all time. A song that makes me utterly happy when I listen to it. It really has a special meaning to me..
And it was unbelievably wonderful live!!
He sang it with such fun and enthusiasm it brought tears to my eyes although it is such a happy tune!!!
I need the DVD!!!!!
ETA: Info for Jonas:
In January 2005, Hannon announced that he had acquired the worldwide copyrights to all of his recorded output with his former record label, Setanta Records. He declared on the band's official website that he would be launching his own record label Divine Comedy Records in order to re-release his 1990s output. It is understood that he will be re-releasing Liberation (1993) through to Fin de Siècle (1998) on his own label in 2006.
So, the CDs will be available again!!
