So we are being bypassed this year. Has anyone any ideas why we were overlooked? Was Leonard asked to play outdoors again? Was the reception not good enough last time? Questions, question, questions. Has anyone got an answer?

Could the island be Ireland, near to Britain?

Jarkko says back to the P-word. But I don't have enough patience for the P-word.

It brings to mind the public announceent on the tube in london: Mind the gap. I wonder what could be read into that?

Look on the bright side: all the money saved. Still, I'd rather spend the money than spend the summer without an LC concert. Maybe we could get up a petition. Would you deliver it Jarkko?

85000? Maybe Limerick? Even though it's not on the mainland I never give up hope.

Has the luck of the Irish finally run out Jarkko?

We all owe you a big one, Al. Congrats.

The next concert has to be in Ireland. 2013 faoi mhaise daoibh uile!

Nollaig shona daoibh!

A review appeared in yesterday's (24/11/12) Irish Independent (Review section). Maybe somebody could create a link. Sorry, don't know how to get it.

Don't forget to remember that there are times when a cigar is just a cigar, as Freud once said.

My 21-month old granddaughter was sitting in the back of the car today and was singing along to the chorus of Hallelujah. Is she the youngest convert so far?

Nice article on Leonard by Dave Fanning in the new RTE Guide, if anyone knows how to upload it! I don't, sorry.

Happy birthday and thanks for everything for the last 45 years since I first heard Suzanne and So long, Marianne.
