How to get in touch with Leonard Cohen

Hi all,

I'm just wondering how to get in touch with Leonard, as - by some miracle - I'm able to attend the Auckland show, and if I could make a request for a song. Not for me, but for my Dad.
I'm sure he gets stuff like this ALL the time, and I know that there's a very slim chance of him this happening, but I might as well try right?

So if anyone has any idea of how to contact LC, or get in touch with 'his people' as it were, please, please help me out here.

Many thanks,
Cullen

Which song can that be?

The song would most likely be Memories. I know that anything from the Death of a Ladies Man album would be absolutely mind-blowing for him, but I do believe Memories is his favourite. I think it'd make him incredibly happy.

However, I do know that Leonard doesn't exactly have a soft spot for these songs, so I'm not holding out hope.

But no harm in trying eh? :D

Sorry to be a killjoy (that happens pretty often I'm afraid), but Memories is one of the songs the band has not rehearsed, and they are playing only songs they know.

Ahh I was afraid that might be the case. Oh well. That's a shame. I assume the band hasn't rehearsed anything from that album.

But at least I tried to try!

Thanks all :)

I think if they'd start playing all songs people request, the concert would have to last 3 days
