Re: Nathaniel Rateliff presents a night of Leonard Cohen
No recording link for this, but I was lucky enough to witness Nathaniel covering Leonard's "Chelsea Hotel #2" sung as a tribute to Leonard's recent passing. This took place in the Colston Hall (now Bristol Beacon) Bristol, UK on 19th November 2016. I believe he performed it at a few venues...

Re: Dance Me – music by Leonard Cohen presented by Ballets Jazz Montréal & Robomagic: UK premiere at Sadler's Wells in 2
On her weekly Sunday show on BBC Radio 2, musical star Elaine Paige played Leonard's "Tower of Song" and then followed this up with a very complimentary short review of the UK premiere, at Sadler's Wells Theatre, of Dance Me - by Ballets Jazz Montreal. She described it as "a very touc...

Re: The Jesus and Mary Chain covers Tower of Song
I've recently been revisiting the back catalogue of the Scottish Rock Band - the Jesus and Mary Chain, one of the most innovative bands of the 80s & 90s (IMHO) and was reminded of this classic cover (I accept that opinions might vary on this assertation as a classic ). :D . I love the guitars dr...

Re: Jo Nesbøs new novel about Harry Hole mentions LC on p. 10
HI Amrei, Like you I have read practically all of Jo Nesbø's work and particularly the Harry Hole series. He has referenced Leonard in the past. I was surprised to read that his new novel, "Killing Moon" was already published as it is not due for release (in the UK) until May 2023. I see t...

Re: Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song,” Daniel Geller and Dayna Goldfine
We saw this in a national pre-release preview, on Friday night at the Picturehouse cinema (London central). There were a number of references and comments which will not be new to many on this forum but, nevertheless, a very enjoyable film, with interviews and insights that were new to me. There wer...

Re: Sue Merlyn Farebrother has passed away
I was so sorry to hear of Sue’s passing. My wife Helen and I first got to know Sue in 2008 around a Leonard concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London. A number of Forum members met at the legendary Troubadour in Earls Court, in advance of the concert and then in South Kensington at a bar then calle...

Re: Provisional Event program
Really looking forward to joining everyone for this program, Maarten. Is there no open mic this year? (May not be necessary, given our propensity for hauling out the guitars after hours.) Hi Don. Looking forward to hearing from you and the many other talented players in our group in the "after...

Re: New Leonard Cohen tribute album will feature Peter Gabriel, Iggy Pop, Mavis Staples and more
Looks like a great line-up for this tribute album. Agree with Kush in looking forward to Mavis and Norah. I was at a Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats concert, in Bristol, UK, just a week after Leonard passed. He played a very moving version of Chelsea Hotel #2, which was really well receive...

Re: Kenneth Forsyth has passed away.
Helen & I, heard, yesterday, of Ken's passing. Waking up this morning, we are still in shock. We knew he had been fighting his illness but hoped he would pull through. People often talk about "larger than life characters", but it is only when you meet someone like Ken (if there ever co...
