Leonard in Ireland

I'm currently doing a wee bit of research into Leonard's concerts in my native Ireland, and am hoping to get some help from anyone reading this who might still have held on to their concert tickets from way back in the day ... I'm not wanting the ticket/s, just a decent photograph, or scan, will do ...

Re: BREAD AND ROSES CONCERTS IN 1980

Thanks Marie ... that photo looks 1980; we have no details of any Leonard concert involvement in 1983, so the date should be 1980, as Sharon is there with Jennifer, who did not tour in 1980 with Leonard on the 'Recent Songs' tour.

BREAD AND ROSES CONCERTS IN 1980

If anyone can help me on this I'd be very grateful... My researches show that Leonard was advertised as a Special Guest on October 3, 1980 - with Jennifer Warnes and 'Passenger' ... can anyone verify that Leonard actually did perform ? If so, which song/s?? I do have a photograph of Leonard backstag...

Re: Music You're Listening To

DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH (1906-1975) Just wondering if there are any serious Shostakovich collectors among us ? I'm currently revising some of my 1980s articles and am after a couple of CDs of his music which for the life of me I just cannot find anywhere, as they are deleted from the catalogues, and the...

Re: New Book: "Ain't No Cure For Collecting" by Gordon Fraser

Well said from Diamonds in the mine. Also: Donald Rumsfeld nailed it when he famously asserted: “... as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown un...

Re: New book: I'm Your Man by Jim Devlin

Just to update ... On Wednesday last week, January 5, I posted out copies, white padded envelope, to those who've kindly ordered the 1988 booklet. UK orders went 1st class; 'overseas', to coin a phrase, will probably take a couple of weeks, maybe 3, at least. Apologies for the wait - it's a combo of...

Re: 1985 TOUR PROGRAMMES FOR NORTH AMERICA and EUROPE

Thanks HugoD. especially for the picture of the dates/venues. My own copy has been written on and added to and crossed out etc. so as to list the actual concerts that took place - e.g the Polish gigs before the tour ended in Milan. So the clean copy you've sent is very helpful. Thanks again.
