The Divine Comedy

@ Royal Festival Hall, London, 7 November 2012


Neil Hannon celebrated his 42nd birthday in style at the Royal Festival Hall, unwrapping a string quartet to play his third album Promenade in full, popping up during support act Pugwash's set for The Duckworth Lewis Method's Meeting Mr Miandad and bringing on guest singers Alison Moyet, who sang The Certainty Of Chance, and Tom Chaplin from Keane, who sang a trance-tinged version of Love What You Do.
