Neil Tennant will be narrating “Mad About The Boy”, a three-part documentary on BBC Radio 2 about the songs of Noel Coward. Performers and fans of Coward, including Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy, will discuss the enormous range of Coward’s work – tender love songs, yearning melodies, sharp lyrics and skilful wordplay. As well as Coward’s own performances, the programmes will feature more contemporary versions of Noel Coward’s songs, including tracks from “Twentieth Century Blues”, the album which Neil helped to put together in 1998.
The second part of “Mad About The Boy: The Songs Of Noel Coward” will be broadcast on BBC Radio 2 tonight, Friday, July 27th, between 7–7.30 pm.
