Neil Hannon adventures across the musical landscape of Europe. This week, he’s in Italy!

The Divine Comedy’s Neil Hannon adventures across the musical landscape of Europe to Italy to hear opera, Italo house, the Godfather of disco and iconic soundtracks. 

On this brand new series for BBC Radio Ulster, Neil will visit 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.
On episode 1, Neil imagines jumping on his Vespa to travel across Italy, the birthplace of the iconic poem which gave his band it’s name. He knew all about the opera and the crooners – but what of the Italo house, the Godfather of disco and all those iconic soundtracks? 
On this – and every episode – there’ll be music you likely knew already – alongside some which will leave you wondering – where have you been all my live? And – 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. Neil helps set the scene, of course – sharing anecdotes of many happy European tours – and holidays – in practically every European country.
