Manchester Concerts

[Alan_1]

I hope that everyone who goes tonight has a great time.

I wondered if you could help me by telling me what time the concert finishes tonight, as on Wednesday I have to catch a train from Oxford Road Station at 23:07 and I'm worried that I will not have enough time to get there (definitely wouldn't want to miss any of the concert!!).
I don't know how the concert will go but I assume that Leonard will have an interval at some stage.

Any info would be helpful.
Thanks,
Alan

From earlier concert reports the time including all the now standard encores make it about 3 hours from when Leonard comes on stage. There is a short break of 15 or max. 20 minutes. In Manchester it starts at 7.30 so is likely to end completely about 10.30pm. That should give you enough time to run to the station for your train

My first ever Cohen concert on Sunday in Dublin was an incredible experience

Thanks Margaret, that is a great help.
So glad you enjoyed your Dublin concert.
It will be my first concert on wednesday and I'm really looking forward to it!!

Alan,

Here are the timings of Tuesday's concert at the Opera House:

19.30 to 20.30 First Set

20.30 to 20.50 Interval

20.50 to 22.35 Second Set + Encores.

That should give you plenty of time to amble back to Oxford Road (does your train not stop at Deansgate station?)!

Hope that helps.

You are in for a treat!

Thanks for your timings, I looked at them before I left for Manchester early yesterday morning and they put my mind at ease, in the end even though Leonard did 4 encores, I still arrived back at Oxford Street Station with plenty of time to spare (The last train doesn't seem to start at Deansgate for some unknown reason!).

You were absolutely right, what a treat!!!
For me it must be one of the highlights of my life, an absolutely superb concert, I'm so glad I went to Manchester as well as booking for the O2, because I think that Leonard's performance is more suited to the smaller venue.
The memory will stay with me for the rest of my life
