    Perhaps he could dedicate a song or two to the right of way dispute :D

    eg The Law or One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong

    OceanFM suggests he may not come to Sligo.
    The announcement was "premature" and will be removed from his website according to some PR agency.
    :confused:

    Leonard Cohen & Westlife......apparently......!!

    Its all very exciting, especially seeing as my holiday is looking like its going up in smoke or ash, whatever the case may be.

    Sadly Cohen's management company (AEG) have removed Sligo from the list of venues........

    As the man himself would say

    when you've got to go on waiting
    waiting for the miracle to come. "

    Yeah.. it's definitey happening!

    Apparently a 10,000 capacity all-seated concert.. tickets are from €80, but still not a bad price considering it's Leonard Cohen.

    Link: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5hiRNDvMYzh6iiKYynYyZjCCg-zRA

    (can't imagine them fitting 10,000 people in Lissadell comfortably.. even with using the court-yard obviously!)

    His concert is an out of body experience....I never thought the first time could be repeated when I saw him in the stadium years ago he was such an experience, but then at Kilmainham he was even better. Mesmerizing. Gosh what do you reckon, will it be mad trying to get hold of tickets, he has played a few times even more recently........ (Crosses fingers toes and all other appenditures:o:D)

    I got my parents tickets for him at the O2 at gave my dad a buzz when it was finished. He was literally speechless on the phone. Almost emotional. Needless to say he'll be interested in this. Not sure if I'll be supplying them this time mind seeing as I have Bob Dylan tickets for em!

    God lucky them!! They have brought you up well.
    Leonard Cohen does that to people, even the harshest critics end up being transfixed. Women were swooning men were jealous, hes got it all and how old is he now.... :)

    I am probably too much of a cynic but I would be suprised if there is only 1 gig this time seeing as he sold out 3 nights in 2008 and 4 nights last year. I thought I read somewhere he is playing Dublin again this year. I cant find anything about it now though.

    anticipate a problem with finding hotels given that it's a bank holiday weekend. Would it be difficult to get from Strandhill to and from Lissadell House? Would it be better to stay in Sligo town do you think?

    The Clarion have some rooms left, they are going fast though.
    As the others are saying there really should be some sort of bus from the town.

    There is loads of B&B's out that part of the country but I'm sure once they heard about the concert they hiked up the prices.
    A shuttle bus would be so handy and knowing Sligo it probably won't be provided.
