The Songs of Leonard Cohen

Overview

If there's a silver lining to the far-from-fun year that has been 2016, at least as far as music icons are concerned, it's that tragedy is always met with many a tribute. So, just as the late, great Leonard Cohen has joined the list of artists that the last twelve months have claimed, he's also the latest to receive a public outpouring of love in concert form.

The Songs of Leonard Cohen will gather a bunch of Brisbane musicians to honour the influential figure, and invite as much of Brissie as can fit into the New Globe Theatre to watch. Everybody knows that it's a must-attend gig. Everybody also knows that 'Hallelujah' will pop up more than once.

Here, tonight will be fine — and hey, that is the way to say goodbye. Tuxedo Kitten, Dave di Marco, SS Sebastian, Bones Fogarty,
Karen Anderson, The Wicked Messenger and more will help, at what's certain to be a heartfelt evening.
