The Worlds most boring performer, probably.

I thoroughly commend the EDF Massif's total disinterest in Mr.Tanner ( for old Coronation Street Fans)

TLS - at the risk of starting a 10 page thread I disagree. I saw Leonard Cohen twice last year and on both occasions he was superb. Concert 1 was the better of the two - well orchestrated, it had LC leading with all his classic tracks but backed by a great ensemble of musicians and backing singers. He laughed and joked with the audience and ran over the scheduled 2 hour concert by a further 50 minutes - making the evening great value for money.

To have penned one piece that was at No. 1 & 2 in the charts last Christmas is also pretty impressive.

Marmora Man: This will be an admirably brief thread, don't worry.

If he pleases and continues to please his audience then that is all that really matters.

Not an Artist I've ever been drawn to but I doubt if Elsie will be too worried about that.:))

A year or so ago, he did an interview on Radio 4, and was really funny. I'm not a huge fan of his stuff, with notable exceptions, but would quite like to experience his live show.

I saw him live twice for the first time last year; the first time at the O2 (dreadful choice of venue for him) and then at the Albert Hall. Before last year I didn't even own a LC CD. I would rate his Albert Hall concert as one of the top 5 gigs I've ever been to in my life.

I really enjoyed his show at the 02 - wasn't looking forward to it as music sounds so dreary - but he is such a poet and his delivery of the songs was brilliant!

Saw him in 78 and 82, in fact got death of a ladies man on now, good old Lenny.

[ontheedge]

people just don't see the irony in his music "you said you preferred handsome men but for me you'd make an exception" anyway lets end this as don't want a ridiculous ping pong match if you know what I mean. But wish I was seeing Neil Young Fleet Foxes next weekend instead of working nights.

Good to hear from other fans. Sean McG is one too.

He most certainly is.

Is anyone seeing Lenny on Saturday?

[antijen]

Wish I was, he's fantastic live, its not fair, tickets to expensive, cant get an address to write to him and pull him up on his prices, ok he got ripped off, but surely he's made enough back. Know someone who's going though and they said would try to deliver a letter, didnt realise it was tomorrow though, ah well another time.
