to wrap up!

That's what I heard too. It isn't small, it's accurate and also represents his self-deprecating humour

Yes, it was definitely ditties. And it annoyed me that both the Irish Times and the Irish Independent got it wrong.

But that and maybe the cold are the only complaints about what was a magical event. It was just one constant highlight after another.

Maybe cos the President of Ireland was sitting a few rows in front of me... there were no stragglers walking around. The audience were great. Leonard was in fantastic form. jumping onto the stage and singing from the heart.

He said at one point...' i hope you are warm... but you were warm when you got here, if you were any warmer... you would be the Tropics '

Beautiful way to spend an evening and not a drop of rain fell. Brought my daughter to see him, she thought he was fantastic, and we both got to the front of the stage for the encores. The security man tried to stop me but I said to him, I don't want to see the President, I just want to see Leonard ... It worked. A few feet away for Marianne, First we take Manhattan , Famous Blue Raincoat and Closing time....

ROLL ON VERONA NOW

Meant to comment on that,i think its a wonderful addition,no offence to Dino but i prefer the violin too but then i think the violin is a far underused instrument,worked beautifully with the songs
