I am happy to announce that the 2011 Leonard Cohen Night will be held on September 17th, see below. It is a nice legacy for us that Adam Cohen was our headliner in 2009 and now his career has really taken off!

All the best. - Kim

I'll be on vacation in New York my first trip to USA! but can't wait to read all about it when I come home! Enjoy

Hey Kim, all the best for your Edmonton event this year - I hope it goes really well and you have lots of folk taking part!

Sadly, I won't be attending the Toowoomba event this year, but my thoughts will be there too, of course.

I can't believe it's 9 years since I attended that wonderful 2002 event in Edmonton!

Cheers,
Andrew
