Has anyone come across Leonard’s versions of “Like a Virgin” or “Papa Don’t Preach”?

I'm not sure if this article has made it onto the forum before. So apologies if it has already been included somewhere here already. It was published at the end of November 2017, a year after Leonard's passing. I came across this insight from Leonard's classmate, at McGill university, Kenneth Asch w...

Hi Wendy & Jarkko,

Thanks for the update. Hopefully manage payment,in time, to take advantage of the "early bird" offer.

Merry Christmas,

Scott & Helen,

Hi Eva, Can you confirm that you are only acknowledging emails, and adding names to the attendee list, once you receive full payment? I registered several weeks ago with all details but haven't provided you with the payment yet. I presume that is why there has been no response so far? Seems fair, I ...

Definitely right about the uptake of VIP packages now being back on sale. Even now, Friday UK time 1230, there are pairs of regular tickets available from Evenko: Centre, well forward in the front block. Our tickets (same price) from the pre-sale are in row LL to the left.

Hi Steve, haven't come across him before. I know that 'FBR' is a favourite of yours. Enjoyed both of these. Will keep an eye out for him in the future.

Hopefully catch up in Montreal. You too Janet!

Oops! a couple of tickets for this seem to have been purchased on my credit card. Just the small question of flights and accommodation now...

Thanks Jarkko & Marie

Scott & Helen

"Looks like a great line up. A DVD would be fab for those who can't make the trip to Montreal." Quote from the official announcement "... Emmy nominated and Golden Globe winning director Jack Bender (Game of Thrones, Lost, The Sopranos, Mr. Mercedes, etc.) will film the event for an upcoming special".
