Great programme! Hats off.

In the programme I see a "Screening of a concert from the 2013 tour"?!
Do you have some more info on this? Will it be officially recorded material? And/or a preview of the new live album to come? Or officially recorded material, not for a live album, but only to be shown at the Dublin event? Any idea which concert?

thanks,
Lennard

It will - again - be something special Leonard wants to share with the Forum members!
Ed Sanders, Leonard's manager, has kindly prepared one complete concert for us to screen. BIG thanks to both gentlemen!

The concert was filmed and recorded in full HD quality for the venue screens and Leonard's own archives. This footage will not be released.
It will probably be one of the last concerts in 2013 in New Zealand. I will confirm this as soon as the disc has arrived.

(This is not the first time we have been in such a privileged position: we have shown three concerts at our biennial Hydra meetups, and one at the Madison Event.
None of those recordings will be released).

So here we have another impulse for everybody to sign to Dublin!!

That's a programme of highest quality that the Dublin organizers have set up. Only a few months left until we have the privilege to be part of this event. Slainte.

It looks like a wonderful Programme-congratulations to Paula and the Organizing Committee-Anne & I can hardly wait!

Joe

Good idea Ken. Please ask him to bring one for me as well please Paula!

Sigh, I shall be enviously happy for all of you.

This is now appearing in local media (Newspapers, RTE "Late Date" etc.,) as a Leonard Cohen festival, which "ordinary mortals " can attend as well as LC fans. Hope so ! Would be good for all.

Aarrrgghh! Knowing my luck it'll be the one I was at (Christchurch). What I'd give for a copy of that footage...

Are the concerts at night all taking place in Liberty Hall. Also where is the post concert Craic being held , is that in the landsdowne Hotel? Really looking forward to it all.

Sounds like you all will have a great time. Pity I am not around to attend. Enjoy Dublin - may the sun shine daily

We will show Auckland in Dublin.
Christchurch will probably be screened next June at the open air cinema under the stars of Hydra.

Excellent! thanks for the news Jarkko
so happy I could take another day off from work and will be staying on Sunday as well!
