What is recorded here
Neil Hannon is a birthplace in County Derry, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who arrived in November 1970 listened for music inside the walls before he ever held an instrument. Maybe the county gave him patience, rain and rhythm, while he returned songs bright enough to carry that darkness everywhere.
