Just had the following notifications from SongKick but haven't seen confirmation elsewhere yet:

Leeds Arena - 5 September
London O2 - 14 September

Sounds promising though....

Tony Palmer interview in today's Times (Arts Section; p4 - account need on-line these days) in which it confirms Bird on a Wire will be broadcast on 19 November on BBC4 @ 10:00pm.

I'm told by Armelle that his Leonard Cohen Mt Baldy documentary "Spring '96" will soon be available on the French "Les Films du Paradoxe" label - though it is not on their schedule at the moment: http://www.filmsduparadoxe.com/dvdvhs.html . This was available on VHS once-upon-a-time, so it will be g...

Ireceived this today at my website diamondsinthemine.co.uk - Needless to say, I won't be signing up!!: Dear Webmaster, With reference to a visit to your great website, I would like to suggest to cooperate with you! We sell tickets to all Leonard Cohen Concerts and we are offering you the opportunity...

We're all very excited about the new tour, so whilst we wait, why not watch a few films of previous tours to prepare us for what might be to come? My trading list is up to date at http://www.diamondsinthemine.co.uk/trading.htm (there some audio MP3s on there too. Documentaries/Major Interviews Bird ...

Apologies if this has been covered, but I've heard that there is to be a re-broadcast of the 1988 San Sebestian gig on Spanish TV. Apparently it's being shown on TVE on the 19 November 2006 - I can't confirm this, but it may be an opportunity to get a minty fresh version for the DVD library.... Any ...

News from Shingen following the screening of 'Spiring '96': The movie was a success. We had a lovely gathering afterwards and I could tell a few stories about Leonard. Shingen was also kind enough to share these memories of his time with Leonard in Mt. Baldy which may be of interest: "I think it was...

I'd vote for that! There's enough footage for an excellent 'greatest hits' videograph out there too. Maybe the new documentary will also throw up some new material...

Tom/Rich - I have a collection of artwork for the 19 DVDs in the Diamonds collection and would be happy to make the jpg's available for any shared resource - am planning to list them on http://www.diamondsinthemine.co.uk when I get the chance, but that's not likely in the near future!

Just caught the video and loved it - I got the humour and warmth of it and managed not to be shocked. LC looked a little like Sean Connery and the whole thing had an opening Bond film credits feel to it - nice counterpoint to the lyric. Excellent Lorca!

Scooby! talk of the devil....

Just to be clear - the eBay trader operating as 'diamonds_in_the_mine' is not affiliated in any way with my little web site http://www.diamondsinthemine.co.uk . In fact, it's yet another identity of eBay Cohen regular Trevor Solley from Swale, Hampshire (last time I heard from him) and, I suspect, o...

I've updated my DVD trading list at http://www.diamondsinthemine.co.uk/trading.htm this now extends to 17 DVDs, but still isn't complete and I'm keen to fill any gaps! Also, the quality is varied - though these are now on DVD, the source material is principally video - often 2nd, 3rd or later genera...

If anyone in the UK missed this when it was on Digital TV a few weeks back, it's now being repeated on BBC2 on 23 March: What Leonard Cohen Did for Me Channel: BBC 2 Date: Wednesday 23rd March 2005 Time: 23:20 to 23:50 Duration: 30 minutes. A celebration of the career of Leonard Cohen, one of contem...

Grrrrr.... "Shout To The Devil" is the "CustardPie_69" account with a name change, "Baros is best" is the "trevorSEM" account with a name change. Both are the same person, namely Trevor S. of Cove, Hampshire. Most buyers seem happy at paying £15 a time for his discs so maybe I shouldn't get cross ab...
