We prize knowledge, and rightly so. We think of ignorance as a bad thing. But ignorance is inseparable from what we know.Knowledge can distract us, mislead us and endanger us. While ignorance is often the most fundamental insight about our human condition. Ignorance is not simply the opposite of knowledge, but a positive force with its own momentum that gives meaning to our lives. It drives scientific discovery, fosters creativity and can be psychologically helpful. That's why Rory Stewart wants to make a radical case for embracing ignorance. He wants to encourage a way of knowing in which knowledge and ignorance exist in a relationship with each other.With a cast of global thinkers, drawing on Western and Eastern ideas from the ancient world to the present day, Rory explores how a greater awareness and appreciation of ignorance can help us become more clear-thinking, humble, empathetic and wise.

I thought it was quite a well-known phrase. I just typed in, like, you know, moon phrases, and I came across "Between the Moon and the Milkman," and I was like, I really like that because it can evoke a lot of different things. It can mean physically between that time, but also like that space at nighttime, for me, is quite... I find it really interesting because a lot of the songs were written at nighttime. 0:01 - Introduction by Graham Coath 0:03 - Graham Coath expresses excitement about the upcoming discussion on a fantastic album with guest Amelia Coburn. 0:08 - Introduction of guest Amelia Coburn. 0:20 - Graham Coath introduces the music interlude from Analogue Trash. 0:35 - Analogue Trash music interlude. 1:01 - Graham Coath comments on the energetic nature of the music and its suitability for the podcast's timing. 1:10 - Graham Coath praises Amelia Coburn's album, "Between the Moon and the Milkman," as one of the most important albums in the last five years. 1:21 - Discussion about the origin of the album title and its significance to Amelia Coburn's creative process. 3:01 - Conversation about the challenges of genre classification and pigeonholing in the music industry. 4:07 - Comparison between Amelia Coburn's musical influences and her unexpected similarity to Kirsty MacColl. 5:28 - Discussion about Amelia Coburn's admiration for Neil Hannon and his influence on her songwriting. 6:05 - Conversation about the songwriting process, including the role of dissonance and experimentation with chords. 7:26 - Amelia Coburn's approach to writing lyrics and the importance of melody over lyrics. 9:18 - Discussion on the pronunciation and enunciation of lyrics, influenced by Amelia Coburn's background. 10:42 - Graham Coath highlights Amelia Coburn's ability to blend pop and folk elements in her music. 11:52 - Discussion about the duration of time taken to write and compile the album. 13:45 - Amelia Coburn's experience of working with producer Bill Ryder-Jones and their shared musical influences. 16:21 - Surprise and gratitude expressed by Amelia Coburn regarding the success and positive reception of the album. 17:53 - Mention of Paul Heaton's acknowledgment of the album, indicating potential future opportunities. 18:50 - Discussion about upcoming festival appearances and plans for touring with a band. 19:33 - Graham Coath offers suggestions and support for Amelia Coburn's future musical endeavors.

Neil Hannon is a singer, songwriter and the driving force behind the band The Divine Comedy, which he founded in 1989. Along with hit singles such as National Express, and 12 albums with the band, his music appears in an impressively varied range of settings – including original songs for the recent film Wonka, a chamber opera inspired by Tolstoy for Covent Garden, and the theme tune for the sitcom Father Ted. Neil talks to Michael Berkeley about growing up in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland with a bishop for a father, writing his first pop song when he was 14, and how, as a self-described "pathetic twerp", he managed to make it in the pop world. His typically wide-ranging musical passions include works by Puccini, Stravinsky, Chopin and Ravel, alongside tracks by Michael Nyman, Kate Bush and Scott Walker. Producer: Graham Rogers

Wonka is a 2023 musical fantasy film directed by Paul King, who co-wrote the screenplay with Simon Farnaby based on a story by King. It tells the origin story of Willy Wonka, a character in the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, featuring his early days as a chocolatier. The film stars Timothée Chalamet in the title role and an ensemble cast including Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carter, Natasha Rothwell, Olivia Colman, and Hugh Grant. It is the third live-action film based on Dahl's novel, following Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). Development began after Warner Bros. Pictures reacquired the rights to the character in October 2016 and announced that the film would serve as an origin story. While the film tells a standalone story with no connection to prior adaptations, King developed Wonka to exist as a "companion piece" to the 1971 film by reprising some of the music, thematic elements, and visual design of the Oompa Loompas. In May 2021, Chalamet was confirmed to be portraying Wonka and the supporting cast were announced in September of that year. Filming began in the United Kingdom in September 2021, taking place in Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, in Watford, as well as Oxford, Lyme Regis, Bath, St Albans and at the Rivoli Ballroom in Crofton Park, London. The original songs for the film were contributed by Neil Hannon, while its original score was provided by Joby Talbot. Wonka had its world premiere in London at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, on November 28, 2023. It was released in the United Kingdom on December 8 and in the United States on December 15 by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film has grossed $469 million worldwide and received generally positive reviews from critics. For his performance, Chalamet was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. The film also received two Critics' Choice Award nominations for Best Young Actor/Actress for Lane & Costume Design. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/popcorn-junkies/message

It's a Wonka special for you today, as writer director Paul King, songwriter Neil Hannon and composer Joby Talbot join Edith to discuss their origin story of the eccentric chocolate maker, who is brilliantly played by Timothée Chalamet.

Neil Hannon, of The Divine Comedy, tells Brendan how he landed the gig to write music for the new Wonka film and gives us an eclectic mix of songs from his life. .

With the end of the year fast approaching the hot topic on everyone's lips is forgiveness. Whether it be the person that accidentally spilled a can of lager all over your laptop, or the football player that scored the goal that relegated your favourite team, it's time for those feelings of negativity from the past year to be let go. However, some beefs stretch back further than 12 months... some even more than 12 years. Yes, on this week's show John Robins sought to end a two decade-long beef that he's had against one-time Queen-disliker Neil Hannon, lead singer of The Divine Comedy. Would Elis and Producer Dave be able to keep the studio calm enough for a civil discussion to take place? Well, why not jump into today's podcast to find out.As well as all the usual fun, Tony Livesey revealed a missed career opportunity, there's a Made Up Game that the guys performed surprisingly well in, John told us about his fun New Years Eve plans and Elis decided to share his much-anticipated review of John's recent stand up show.

Thomas Walsh of Pugwash and The Duckworth Lewis Method joins Sodajerker to discuss his new album The Rest is History and his songwriting process. In this in-depth conversation, the Irish power pop legend talks about his origins in music, his collaborations with The Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon, and his reverence for his musical heroes like Michael Penn and Jeff Lynne.

It's the 200th episode of Baxie's Musical Podcast! This time we welcome back one of the greatest songwriters alive--Thomas Walsh (formerly of Pugwash and the Duckworth Lewis Method). Thomas has just released his first album in six years---the insanely wonderful "This Rest is History" on Curations Records. Thomas talks about the making of the album, recording at the Abbey Road Studios, and about getting help from people like Joe Elliott from Def Leppard, Michael Penn, Neil Hannon from the Devine Comedy, and Dave Gregory from XTC! The music of Pugwash has been praised by the likes of Brian Wilson, Ray Davies from The Kinks, Jeff Lynne from ELO, and Andy Partridge from XTC.

RTD has revived the Doctor Who hype machine and Ben and David have been lapping it up. They enthuse over the many costume reveals for Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor and other members of the cast. Ben, who has been in England this past month, liked the Doctor Who trailer that dropped before EuroVision this year on BBC and is picking up a palpable buzz about the coming 60th anniversary series. Plus speculation if there will be a musical episode with Ncuti? Then, in the second part of the podcast, at about the 20:30 mark, we chat about the 2023 William Hartnell story rankings in Doctor Who Monthly. The intro and outro music is "Love Don't Roam" featuring Neil Hannon and composed by Murray Gold. We recorded this episode on 19 May 2023.

In this Film Ireland Podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Andrew Legge, Co-Writer & Director of LOLA. 1941, sisters Thom and Mars have built a machine, LOLA, that can intercept radio and TV broadcasts from the future.This allows them to listen to iconic music before it has been made, place bets knowing what the outcome will be and embrace theirinner punk well before the movement came into existence.But with the Second World War escalating, the sisters decide to use the machine for good to intercept information from the futurethat could help with military intelligence. The machine initially proves to be a huge success, rapidly twisting the fortunes of the waragainst the Nazis. While Thom becomes intoxicated by LOLA, Mars begins to realise the terrible consequences of its power. LOLA was co-written with Angeli Macfarlane and stars Emma Appleton and Stefanie Martini, with original score by Neil Hannon. LOLA is in cinemas from 7th April 2023

Cette fois, Neil Hannon dévoile ses influences dans la pop et la chanson française, et en premier lieu celle de Serge Gainsbourg. Il explique également pourquoi il avait écrit « A Lady of a Certain Age » à l'attention de Jane Birkin, avant finalement de la garder pour lui. Il parle enfin de Michel Legrand, qui fut l'une des inspirations de cette chanson.

Dans ce premier épisode, Neil Hannon revient sur ses premiers concerts en France, sur sa découverte du public français, ainsi que sur l'influence des films de la Nouvelle Vague sur l'écriture de ses deux premiers albums. Il raconte aussi pourquoi il a décidé de poser devant la pyramide du Louvre pour la pochette de Promenade.  

When your host purchased The Divine Comedy's Fin De Siècle in 1998, I couldn't quite penetrate it at the time. Listening again to the record in preparation for this conversation with Neil Hannon  I have to say, I missed out. As Hannon describes himself, the album was “a musical hallucinogen". Essentially a sombre affair in which Hannon exercises all his fascinations with troubadour influences, Scott Walker, Jacques Brel, even Charles Aznavour. Oh, and Faith No More. And why not? Despite its rather avant garde nature, the album plays host to The Divine Comedy's biggest hit and probably best known song, The National Express. Why, I wondered, would a pop star like Neil Hannon possibly be travelling around the country by coach? (you'll have to listen in for the answer). The Divine Comedy perhaps never made the ‘A List' of the 1990s British music boom. Hannon's journey was not that of Oasis, The Stone Roses or Blur, or even more kindred spirits, Pulp. But, Hannon still had three solid years of full-on fame. As he describes it:“The heights and the valleys are shallower in my experience than Suede or others. But, I looked through my old diaries recently and the difference between one year and the next - suddenly I didn't have a day to myself for the next three years. It drove me mad, but I came out the other side”. With that quote, Neil Hannon captures his very own successful recipe for longevity - namely don't get too carried away. However, that gentle roller coaster ride has rolled on, largely down to Hannon's ability to write very good songs. Those songs and Hannon's independent, self-reliance has seen The Divine Comedy mature very nicely indeed. Despite the industry's ebbs and flows since his debut album Fanfare for the Comic Muse in 1990, Hannon still gets asked to do interesting projects (writing the music for a Willie Wonka prequel), still goes on successful tours (pandemic permitting) and still gets played on the radio (now & again). I asked Neil if that really is the secret to longevity in pop music - on top of everything else - to be able to knock out great songs?“I feel like it might be. You never quite know. I sat in the control room in Abbey Road while the orchestra played their part on Our Mutual Friend. I remember thinking well, that's the best thing I've ever done. “After Regeneration [2001] I knew I had to change things or I'm doomed. I have to make the record that makes me happy. I went back to the source - pure 60s orchestral pop with layers of golden age British pop. It got me back on course. It was easier after that. To know you don't have to go looking - just do what you do - and an audience will come”. The amazing thing about bands of longevity is how new audiences keep on coming. No doubt a benefit of the streaming era, always on music, playlists and discovery algorithms. But good songs are the essential ingredient and Hannon has a bounty of them.  As a "musical entity, a singer-songwriter", Hannon is a rather distant pop star.“I'm not sure I was ever really a pop star, though at one point I did read the manual, so I knew what I was doing”.Sounds like it. Full article at https://www.songsommelier.comSupport the show

In episode #82 of The XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar catches up with The Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon. Having completed his third decade as a recording artist, The Divine Comedy recently released Charmed Life - The Best Of The Divine Comedy - a collection of his finest moments.  A 24 track career-spanning roster of hit singles and fan favourites, compiled by Neil and remastered at Abbey Road Studios, Charmed Life includes monumental tracks ‘National Express', ‘Something For The Weekend', ‘Songs of Love', ‘Our Mutual Friend', ‘A Lady of A Certain Age', ‘To The Rescue' and ‘Norman and Norma'. It also features the brand new track ‘The Best Mistakes.' In this interview, Neil talks about the new greatest hits collection, growing up in N.Ireland, songwriting, his work on the new Wonka prequel and lots more.

 On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a pair of songwriters who share a serious dedication to the craft, a slightly sardonic outlook on life, and deep, incredible catalogs: Neil Hannon and Ben Folds. Neil Hannon is from Northern Ireland, and it's safe to say that he and the band that he's fronted for the past 30 years, the Divine Comedy, are a bit better known in Europe than in the States. Under the Divine Comedy name, Hannon has released a dozen delightfully clever albums, the latest of which is 2019's Office Politics. If you're a newbie and that seems far too much to catch up on, you're in luck: Just this year, the Divine Comedy released a fantastic greatest-hits set called Charmed Life. Hannon has also kept himself busy over the years writing an opera of sorts, as well as composing the theme songs to two beloved British sitcoms, The IT Crowd and Father Ted—the latter show comes up at the beginning of this conversation. Another thing you'll hear Hannon reference in this chat is “Wonka money”—he's referring to the fact that he's composing the music for the upcoming Willy Wonka movie starring Timothee Chalamet. Not too shabby. Here's a little bit of the Divine Comedy's “The Best Mistakes.” Ben Folds, as you'll hear in this conversation, is a huge fan of Hannon and his music. They've played together in the past and they plan to again; you'll even hear them chatting about an orchestral series of concerts that Folds helps produce at the Kennedy Center. Folds, of course, is the piano-playing maestro who led the Ben Folds Five during the ‘90s, then struck out on his own for a vastly varied career in music. In addition to more pop-oriented albums, he's collaborated with everyone from William Shatner to Weird Al; he's written a piano concerto for the Nashville Symphony, released a well received memoir, and started a podcast in which he interviews interesting folks from various walks of life. Another guest who makes us all feel lazy. Damn it, Folds! For this chat, the old friends were in vastly different time zones: Hannon in Ireland and Folds in Australia, the former ready for bed and the latter just waking up. They talk about their admiration for each other—and how they don't really understand current pop music, because they know they're not supposed to. They talk about the downsides of ProTools and the upsides of the pandemic. And you get to hear Ben Folds say the phrase “getting on fucking Talkhouse and kissing ass,” which made my week. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Ben Folds and Neil Hannon for chatting. If you liked what you heard, please follow Talkhouse on your favorite podcasting platform. This episode was produced by Myron Kaplan, and the Talkhouse theme is composed and performed by the Range. See you next time!

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 11 of Song Chronicles. Our special guest today is Thomas Walsh, an Ivor Novello-nominated songwriter who is the front person and songwriter behind the Irish pop-rock project Pugwash. As a band, Pugwash released six albums and toured through the UK and Ireland before Thomas returned Pugwash to its roots as a solo project with the most recent album Silverlake. He's currently at work on a new solo album. Pugwash in 2015 We also talk about The Duckworth Lewis Method, his collaboration with Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy, and what it's like working with a true partner in co-writing.  The Duckworth Lewis Method Thomas is an incredible writer of melodies. We talk about the songwriting process, how he often dreads the process but loves the result, and how he usually writes from his own experience. Though he feels the need to be modest about his own songwriting, I get him to share his favorites of his own songs that he's written throughout his career. As he shares, it's often the songs that come to you quickly that turn out the best. Thomas performing in 2015 Thomas is a walking encyclopedia of music with the biggest record collection I've ever seen. He shares his obsession with the labels printed on records and the sense memories he associates with 70s music. He talks about getting to work with many of his influences, including Jeff Lynne, co-founder of Electric Light Orchestra, who told him a funny story about how George Harrison found his awards to be highly valuable — in the garden. You'll also hear a fun story about singing Kinks songs with Ray Davies in the pub. Thomas with Jeff Lynne Enjoy this in depth conversation with a true lover of music.

Clive Anderson and Arthur Smith are joined by Neil Hannon, Michelle Collins, Michael Rosen and Felicity Ward for with an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy. With music from The Divine Comedy and Skip Marley.

Le plus souvent, on s'en fout si un acteur est techniquement « bon », si un groupe est virtuose, ou si un peintre n'imite pas automatiquement Raphael. Parce que ce qui compte, c'est ce moment précis où les artistes font se toucher les deux saintes courbes - celle où leur oeuvre rend l'identification possible et celle de la beauté esthétique - et créent « l'émotion juste ». Même si c'est rare et que ça dure une seconde, le truc te fout toujours en l'air… Neil Hannon, lui, il réédite cet exploit sur quasiment chaque chanson de Divine Comedy. La chiale 8000.

He's had leading roles in productions including Jesus Christ Superstar, Blood Brothers, The Buddy Holly Story, Dusty—The Musical, The Glenn Miller Story, and The Demon Headmaster. Tim's television roles have included Sir Richard Byngham in The Spanish Armada, fireman Mick Foster in Emmerdale, and Detective Inspector Goodman in Canary Wharf, as well as numerous TV commercials. As a musician, he's written and recorded the albums Life Changes and To Love and Be Loved and was the winner of the Netherlands International Song Festival and a finalist at the Isle of Wight Song Festival. A highly competent German and French speaker, Tim has also translated into English the German musicals A Touch of Colour and Scrooge—A Christmas Tale as well as project managed the critically acclaimed musical theater piece In May, which features all original music by Neil Hannon of the Divine Comedy. Which is what brought us together. In the spring of 2017, I wrote a long, loving post on my blog, Queen of Peaches, about the recording of In May that appeared as a bonus disk on the 2016 Divine Comedy album Foreverland. In the years since, it's become one of the most highly trafficked pieces on my site. Fans of Neil Hannon are nothing if not devoted to his music. Tim himself found and read the piece and reached out to me about it, and the rest, as you'll soon hear, is history. I was so excited that he was willing to spend a solid 90 minutes talking me through the ins and outs of his extremely varied career, as well as the creation of this breathtaking set of songs, which have meant so much to me over the past few years.

As part of the Doing Design Festival V2 on June 18th we are delighted to welcome, one of Irelands most talented and respected musicians SJ McArdle who will be performing live for us at the event. More about SJ McArdle. As a solo singer-songwriter, SJ has also released three albums, most recently Blood and Bones in 2011. The songs feature contributions from some of SJ’s heroes like Rodney Crowell, guitarist Richard Bennett (Steve Earle’s Guitar Town) and the Love Sponge Strings (Bruce Springsteen’s The Rising). Irish Times (photo by Frank Miller) The album’s lead-off song, “Two Steps From Heaven” was the main song in the Cecelia Ahern-written movie Between Heaven and Here. Accompanying the album release was some significant media attention and reviews and very successful German and Irish tours. Another of SJ’s songs, “Till The Docklands Drown”, is performed during Element Pictures’ A Date For Mad Mary (2016) and several of his readings of traditional Irish songs are featured in the 2019 movie End of Sentence, starring Sarah Bolger, Logan Lerman and John Hawkes. He performed songs from Blood and Bones live on the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show on Today FM and on Ireland AM on TV3. In 2009 he completed a European arena tour as special guest to Reamonn, playing to 70,000 people over three weeks. SJ has also been in occasional demand as a session musician, playing mandolin for Ricky Warwick as they opened shows for Bob Dylan (Odyssey, Belfast) and Sheryl Crow (Point, Dublin). He has also shared a stage or studio with Neil Hannon, Stewart Agnew, Joe Elliott and Miss Paula Flynn. Praise for Kern’s False Deceiver: “Quite lovely … an intriguing release. Those interested in trad music that crosses over into singer/songwriter territory will find this album particularly attractive, but its accessibility will have easy appeal to general audiences. Thumbs up!” – The Irish Echo Praise for Blood and Bones: “Bravo for an artist who has taken contemporary Irish music to parts it far too seldom reaches” – Hot Press “SJ’s deep, sonorous voice brings authority to the songs. If Whipping Boy were raised in Nashville they might sound like this” – Mail On Sunday “Spare couplets conjuring entire vistas with the focus of David Lynch” – The Irish TimesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a week spent debating it, how about a podcast embodying the discussions we've been having about production values I thought a podcast which sort of pulls all the disagreements and moans and whingeing and so on into one big mp3 of joy would be a good idea. So we've got some Big Production, some demo scratchy stuff and a few bands who have dabbled with both.  I fart on about production values as if I have the faintest idea what I'm talking about, which of course I don't. I'm not sure how well it works as a playlist - it might be a bit disjointed - but in general I like it.  I like the debate in general, I like the thought process we've all gone through together this week, and in general, by association, I like this podcast.
