Episode 5 - The German Diaspora
The Divine Comedy’s Neil Hannon adventures across the musical landscape of his favourite continent. This week he’s headed to Germany and those nearby….
Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy enjoys a grand tour across six European countries or regions to discover - via a mix of the obvious and the obscure - the influence their music and creativity has had on the rest of the world.
In an era where travel has been limited - this show encourages escapism - music working with our imagination to take us on hour long adventures across the entire continent.
On episode 5, Neil centres in Germany – though inevitably Austria and other nearby countries also contribute. Kraftwerk and Can are obvious inclusions – but how many of us know much about Hildegard Knef, Wir Sind Helden and Falco? It’s not all obscurities though – listen out for a little Boney M in there also. The final – and arguably most musically curious edition of the series.
