Thank God for that. There are way to many dodgy covers of Leonards songs already without the cast of Glee butchering them any further. I'm sick of hearing their renditions of wonderful songs. Radio stations seem incapable of playing originals any more!

Roll on Saturday! Don't know what RTE was playing at earlier cos the promoter has now also confirmed the gig as I've just received this email

It has just been on RTE news that there will be no decision on the concert til the end of May!!!!!!!!! Hope that is "premature" announcement from RTE!

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...

Get them in the pre-sale here if you can as they will sell instantly in the general sale!

10,000

I've just booked my accomodation for the night before and the night of the gig at this place http://www.lissadellfarmhouse.com/index.php

Ideal location and an absolute bargain at €38 per person per night! Bet they will regret that price!

Roll on the presale!

Is Sligo the last date to be announced?

I really hope so

I love all of Fleetwood Macs music. I saw them in concert last year and it was brilliant. Stevie looked and sounded amazing. Here is a link to my photos from the gig. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1 ... a778a922fd

If the Sligo events go ahead it will be August bank holiday weekend and July 31st is the only date listed that fits into the weekend so I'm keeping my fingers crossed

Recession or no recession if this goes ahead I will be there. I'll live on beans and toast from Lidl if necessary.

I'm tempted to book this place for accomodation just in case. It is straight across the road and at €38 a night is a steal. Plus they don't accept credit cards so no deposit required and could just cancel if the weekend doesn't go ahead. Would I be tempting faith if I did book though??? :?: http://r...

Oh I just happen to be free that weekend I'd be on cloud nine if this is confirmed.
