About
The Divine Comedy are a baroque pop band from Northern Ireland, formed in 1989 and fronted by Neil Hannon. Hannon has been the only constant member of the group, playing, in some instances, all of the non-orchestral instrumentation except drums. The band has released 13 studio albums. Between 1996 and 1999, nine singles released by the band made the top 40 of the UK singles chart, including the 1999 top ten hit "National Express".

The Divine Comedy est un groupe nord-irlandais de pop orchestrale mené par l'auteur-compositeur-interprète Neil Hannon. Formé en 1989 autour de trois musiciens, le groupe devient en 1993 le projet du seul Neil Hannon. La formation du groupe fluctue autour de musiciens plus ou moins récurrents comme Joby Talbot présent sur la majorité des albums. Le nom du groupe rend hommage à la Divine Comédie de Dante Alighieri.
