Sunday Times Culture magazine 04/12/16: 100 Best Records of the Year: No. 6 Leonard Cohen You Want It Darker 'Deadlines focus the mind, and the approach of the ultimate deadline brought forth some of Cohen's finest work: the songs as perfectly crafted as ever, the production (by his son, Adam) the ...
My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Leonard Cohen and to all who love him. I am so grateful for the time he spent with us, for his healing words and beautiful music, for his gentle wit and those long, amazing concerts. May we all find comfort in knowing how much he is loved and respec...
What a joy to experience Leonard and his musicians fire up our spirits in the corporate soullessness of the O2 last night and great to see lots of young people there; his master classes shouldn't be missed by anyone of any age! It was such a buzz to hear Amen and The Darkness as well as a thrilling,...
Just heard a brief extract of Jarvis Cocker talking to Leonard about Old Ideas on BBC Radio 4 Today (19 Jan.) programme; what a good way to start a day. Nearly fell into my porridge bowl! Apparently there's more on the upcoming Jarvis show on Sunday Jan 29th BBC Radio 6 DAB (16:00-18:00 U.K. time). ...
Speaking of k.d.lang....I am still recovering from being taken apart and moved to another place by her astounding, heartbreakingly beautiful rendition of Hallelujah at her London concert last night. Funny, because until then I'd never really connected to this one song amongst all my Leonard touchsto...
Many thanks to everyone from the forum and hotel for arranging such an enjoyable and inclusive Plaque Dedication Ceremony. Those beautiful moments have been framed in our hearts forever. So good to put faces to a few names, too! Love the video, Lightning. You captured the excitement so well for ever...
Laura, Pam, Marie, Linda and the amazing forum team,
Many thanks for crafting our birthday gifts into such a stylish, beautiful poster with your hours of hard work I'm so happy everyone finally made it into the frame!

Thank you for sharing your golden gifts of poetry and music with us. Thanks to you and your brilliant band for partying so exuberantly with us on this amazing tour...
Wow. If ALL the tour concerts have been recorded, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could 'relive the moments' at local meetups where the footage is shown again for forum members? Maybe we could pay a small fee/donation for charity to view again? How feasible is that? I've no idea of the copyright and ...
Sue , ladydi et al. Yep. Definitely going to the Plaque sermon at 2pm. ;-) I can still barely believe how good that sounds! Thanks very much for the links info. Sorry Sourire, but there's an absolute ban on Brits with French nicknames! :D :D :D :D :D Hope to c u there! As for you d'or; je ne regrett...
Hi Sue, I think Jarkko mentioned that once the Tour returns to the US, there will be an opportunity for a band meet-up during the will-call pickup....sort of within the 30 minute span similar to the spring! That is indeed very nice Oooohhh!! How is this done, please? We've got will-call MSG tix...w...
Genius! It's a wonderful idea; great to think that Leonard's creativity could inspire the rest of us to explore our individual talents. I've got a year to look for mine...must be something lurking in there. :D Incidentally, has anyone bought/seen the hardcopy publications from this source? Are they ...
