Neil Hannon's favourite European music. This week - Greece & the east!

The Divine Comedy’s Neil Hannon adventures across the musical landscape of Europe. This week he ‘visits’ Greece and the east.




For this exciting new series, Neil Hannon ‘visits’ 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.
This week – a trip to Greece and the east (taking in Latvia, Poland and Estonia, amongst others) Neil shares some incredible folk and trad, indulges in the genius of Vangelis and explains why Dick Dale and Julie London both qualify for this particular playlist.
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 life? 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.
