BBC Radio 6 Music - Shaun Keaveny, 19/12/2011

Shaun has national treasure Neil Hannon joining him in the studio.

Keavo takes a rib-tickling satirical romp through the day's news and events with national treasure Neil Hannon joining him in the studio.

Shaun Keaveny takes a rib-tickling satirical romp through the day's news and events, with the perfect morning soundtrack for any music-lover; from northern soul to new folk; rock 'n' roll to indie disco. New tracks from the likes of Wild Beasts and Florence & The Machine delightfully wrap around your semi-conscious ears, along with the best of the greatest back catalogues on the planet; be they The Smiths, The Stones, The Clash or The Jam. 

All this plus after 9am national treasure and one of our musical heros - Neil Hannon joins to chat about the play 'Swallows and Amazons' which is coming to the West End in December. Neil Hannon has written all the songs for the show and it was his suggestion to bring it to the stage.

'Swallows and Amazons' is an action-packed musical adventure for the whole family (ages 6+), and is a story of an idyllic era, of endless summer evenings and the beauty of youthful imagination & is based on the much-loved book by Arthur Ransome.

Neil Hannon is a singer, lyricist and composer. Although he is best known for writing, recording and performing as The Divine Comedy, he has also written extensively for TV and film, including the music to Father Ted and The IT Crowd. He has collaborated with everyone from Michael Nyman to Tom Jones, and his cricket-themed project The Duckworth Lewis Method was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award. Swallows and Amazons is his first venture into the world of musical theatre.

Shaun Keaveny: never knowingly over-played.
