big lennie!!


well, the Leonard Cohen concert proved to be all it was promised to be. a religious experience, at least for some, but three hours of beautifully rendered classics with, as you would expect, a fantastic band of musicians and backup singers. and just when you thought it might getting a bit dour, a cracking version of "if it be your will" performed by the webb sisters (part of the backup vocals trio). the saxophone and spanish guitar were standouts in this line-up, and LC just kept on going with wit and passion and cheerfulness. not an unhappy person in the audience, that i noticed, at least.

all ably supported by augie marsh and paul kelly.
