Can't believe I missed all news of the forthcoming tour - must be the medication I'm on. Thankfully my sister rang me yesterday afternoon to tell me the news and I managed to get seats in A3 RowV which seems ok, given my negligence. Of course it's disappointing to have to travel to Dublin this year,...

I suppose it depends on what is most important. There are lots of venues where access is good and transport is readily available. For somewhere a bit different like Lissadell, there's usually a downside. Having said that, we were lucky on Saturday night - back in town on the bus by 12.45 whereas som...

My wife and daughter went last night - Priority buses were a bit of a disaster coming home. They waited nearly 2 hours to even get a bus, 2 am before they arrived back in town. We're booked for tonight, so hopefully improvements will be made.

Plenty in the Sligo Champion this week, the whole area is getting ready for a party weekend. Closing time extended to 02.30 so even if you're stuck in traffic getting back you won't go thirsty - and I have a feeling 02.30 will be a guideline rather than a limit! It's strange living here and having n...

I presume the promoters are anxious to announce all the Lissadell House concerts at the same time. It will be interesting to see if there is place for a 2nd Leonard Cohen concert. Be prepared to bring your kids for a Westlife concert on one of the days. They've been trying to find a local venue for ...

These rates are reasonable given that this is a bank holiday (in peak season) in Ireland. Advise you book somewhere soon - there arent that many hotels in Sligo and I''d hate for any forum members to miss out. I would strongly second this, spaces will disappear fast once an official announcement of...

I expect that there will be shuttle buses from Sligo Town to the venue. Hopefully we will hear soon about other acts on the same week-end (if any). Some of you travelling may want to make a week-end of it.

Oh I'm just so delighted, having missed Dublin last year. Nothing will stop me from going to Sligo. What's Lissadel house like, anyone? Had a quick look and there's a huge courtyard, or could it be in the grounds. Anyone know? Carlow Mike, how much more do you know?? Look forward to the pre sale. :...

thanks

Details will be in the posting at the top when they become available

I never really believed this would happen, not just coming to Ireland again, but coming here to Sligo. Roll on July 31st.

Just been confirmed for July 31st in Lissadell House. This is brilliant news, never thought I'd get to see Leonard here in Sligo. Roll on July.

This will be fantastic if it happens, I could cycle to it. The word locally is that the concert is definitely on again, though artists not certain. Never thought I'd see Leonard anywhere near here, now it looks possible!

The Sligo Champion has a story about the cancellation of a proposed concert at Lissadell House at which Leonard was to have headlined - Cat Stevens also on the list. Apparently he was very enthusiastic about it because of his love of Yeats. It now looks like there is no chance of it going ahead. Wha...

According to email from Ticketmaster, show starts at 8pm and there is no support act
