On today's show Mark and Stuart chat to singer-songwriter and founder of indie-pop outfit The Divine Comedy, Neil Hannon.  The band came to prominence in the 1990's with hits including 'National Express' and 'Something for the Weekend' and the latest album - a double album no less - titled 'Office Politics' has just been released.  As well as a brand new album Neil has also been working on the musical spin-off of classic comedy TV series Father Ted.  He originally wrote the theme music for the Channel 4 sitcom in the 90's and is back collaborating with Father Ted writer Graham Linehan on the forthcoming 'Father Ted: The Musical' on which Neil has written all the music.
