A special tribute night to Leonard Cohen for Nollaig na mBan

Beautiful re-working of Leonard Cohen songs

A special tribute night to Leonard Cohen for Nollaig na mBan

The Glens Centre, Manorhamilton, presents A Thousand Kisses Deep with BBC Jazz Vocalist of the Year, Christine Tobin, and multi-award winning Jazz Guitarist, Phil Robson, who has worked with a diverse array of artists including Maceo Parker, Kurt Elling, Barbra Streisand & Jean Toussaint. 

This is a beautiful re-working of eleven Leonard Cohen songs alongside some choice originals.

In her own writing, Christine Tobin specializes in idiosyncratic, highly musical poetic vignettes with a strong sense of story, so it's no surprise that she weaves magic with the profound, sensual songs of Cohen, and in her musical settings of WB Yeats and contemporary Irish poet Paul Muldoon.

A perfect way to celebrate Little Christmas and face a new year with warmth!

The Cohen songs are from his early 1960s albums through to his 2001 release ‘Ten New Songs’.

The live show of ‘A Thousand Kisses Deep’ won the prestigious Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh Fringe and the album received rave reviews from The Guardian & the irish Times, with London Jazz describing it as ‘A wholly absorbing and often downright ravishing concert’. So join us this Saturday, January 6th, 8pm, for a unique night of celebration of one 

The full programme for this and all other events can be got via www.theglenscentre.com or through the Box Office at 071 9855 833 (Tue-Fri 10-5pm).
