National Express (Acoustic at the Portora Royal School, 2003)
This is a documentary about Neil Hannon (from The Divine Comedy) and the years before he was famous (1984 - 1995).
The program visits places of significance for Neil as well as featuring interviews with him and other previously unseen footage.
There are also many footages from BBC (or other) appearances between 1996 and 2003.
Sadly this recording is 'incomplete': the very begining is missing and the tape was damaged near the end.
