Just realised this is on at the Point in October - might be of interest to some. An evening of Leonard Cohen songs sung by such greats as: Nick Cave, Lou Reed, Jarvis Cocker, Gavin Friday, Beth Orton, Teddy Thompson, The Handsome Family and more.
Great line up.
Tickets in ticketmaster.

Actually, when I said "such greats as" ...I really should have excluded Friday. My apologies.

No need to apologise. It was so obviously a mistake.
The line-up great alright.

70 euros a ticket but I have to say, probably worth it.
Friday oversight due to too much Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V ing.

Have to disagree, Mr Friday is one of the reasons I am going. If you ever get the chance to go see his own show live, jump at it. Have seen him twice in samll venue's and they rank as some of my favourite gigs ever. Albums are great too, but avoid the Prunes stuff.

Yeah, it is a charity event, for that w**ker Friday.
Everytime I see his name, it is quickly followed by Bono. Same with that other tosser gucci of whatever teh fvck he's calling himself.
Will Lou Reed be actually singing? Heard that some of it might be on video screens

Friday's solo stuff has been excellent. Shag Tobacco was good if a bit sub Tom Waitsish. His work with Maurice Seezer has been good also.
Won't be going to this gig though. Why is it being held in Dublin?

I'm sorry, but he just seems like such an a**hole I could never take him seriously. Last time I saw him was at the back of the Ambassador with Guggi at a Beth Gibbons gig. He had a mullet for Chrissake! And was wearing a full length leather jacket, came to the gig for 20 minutes and spent the whole time looking around to see who'd recognise him.
Don't rate his music either. Big fat no.

Funny you should say that because Friday has a track on the new Hal Wilner project 'Rogues Gallery'...oh and so does Lou Reed....and andrea corr...and Bono, funny that. 
Actually, the Lou Reed track is a blast, he does 'Leave Her Johnny' and its so gothic and deadpan I half think he is taking the mick out of himself. I mean he has started to pause mid word, "Leave. Her. John - ny. Leave. Her". Most versions of this song take 1 to 3 mins maximum to perform, Lou takes 5 and a half minutes ! 5 and a half minutes, forchrissakes !!! He makes it sound like the caretaker at Christchurch cathedral has downed a bottle of scotch and had a lash at the church organ after everyone has gone home for the night. |

Great stuff last night, great, great, great.
Anthony was definite stand-out for me, even the tiny wee lead he took in Who By Fire was devestatingly good and as for his rendition of If It Be Your Will, top notch.
Nick Cave managed to do my three favourite songs, smashing. No Diamonds in the mine though, shame.
Beth Orton did a great job on So Long Marianne.
This Anjani young one, although I was aware of her existance and the work she did with Cohen, I'd never heard her by herself. Sexy, pure and simple, sexy.

Got a last minute ticket for tonights gig, lucky lucky lucky. Can't wait for The Handsome Family in particular.
I'm a Gavin Friday fan, can't help it. Shag Tobacco gets a dusting off at least every month for me. His live shows can be great, and the soundtrack stuff he's done with Maurice Seezer is always outstanding. I don't really care much about his hair or clothes or friends.

Great gig last night, ended about 12.30 after 31/2 hours of awesome music. Antony stole the show, but all artists were great, Mary Margret O'Hara and Gavin Friday doing Halleluia was mesmerising. Friday looked genuinely frightened beside O'Hara and I wouldn't blame him, she is mad. The arrangements on the first few Nick Cave performed songs were too nick cave like but after that he was great. Handsome family and especially Beth Orton were superb. And what a band.....All in all the best €70 i have spent in a long time, even the Point's crap venue status seemed to fade.
