Other less publicized Leonard Cohen Dates- The Secret List
Am I really the only one going to the Vatican City gig. There has been no discussion of the gig on the Forum and for this I blame Jarkko who has been far too busy eating curry in Brick Lane instead of attending to his highly paid contractual obligations on this website I created so many years ago.

You forgot his very exclusive concert in The Sea of Tranquility...

Re: Other less publicized Leonard Cohen Dates- The Secret List
Due to the amazing sucess of this tour, Boris Johnson (Mayor of London) has been in contact with Leonard's management.
I am unable to reveal exactly what was agreed ,due to security reasons.However my understanding is that a short set list has been agreed for the Olympic opening ceremony.
I also have been given assurances that 10,000 tickets will be made available in advance to members of this forum (thanks once again jarkko!) and these will shortly be on sale.
As I have privileged information I don't feel that I can leak any of the set list but I feel his songs fit the occasion perfectly.
As always more news will be realised via this forum.

Re: Other less publicized Leonard Cohen Dates- The Secret List
I was shocked to hear of the cancellation of the Olympic Opening Ceremony Leonard Cohen Concert and I feel that his rendition of the National Anthem at next year's Cup Final is a poor replacement indeed.

Re: Other less publicized Leonard Cohen Dates- The Secret List
You say don't be silly but...
Now Leonard has been freed from his Olympic responsibities I have it on good authority he is looking for further sporting venues in which to further showcase his talents.Hence the cup final date.
Padma ,the Queensway Ice Rink as a venue has not been fully ruled out yet.BUT there are one or two issues concerning the skate hire that have yet to be sorted.
Fingers crossed.
Watch this space.

The one that makes me laugh out loud is RAH On the Stage. Visions of Javier Mas being forced to stand while you sit in his red velvet chair.mickey_one wrote:O2 Front Row

It might be something to do with getting the sound right. Just my thought

Re: Other less publicized Leonard Cohen Dates- The Secret List
oh yes there was, you just ain't in the Inner Inner Inner Circle (and nor is Jarkko btw). I must confess that the Wednesday evening gig was nowhere near as good as Thursday's.
