No, it's true!
Some call him a baroque pop pioneer - and we wouldn't want to argue with that!
Your actual Neil Hannon and his wonderful band are joining us for a last hurrah of 2025.
The Divine Comedy recently finished an extensive UK tour and are back on the road across Europe in the new year.
For now, join us and them for some fine renditions from the DC catalogue, which will undoubtedly include a visit to the fabulous current release, 'Rainy Sunday Afternoon', which came out on the band's own label in September.
Something for the Week...day! (Sorry).

Produced in Salford by BBC Audio North for BBC Radio 6 Music.
