Recently, Anita sang You Want It Darker in The Walking Dead. Here she sings Bird On The Wire on Australian radio.
First there's a short interview when she speaks about her contact with Leonard 3 weeks before he died.

Melbourne singer-songwriter Anita Lester performs an incredible version of Leonard Cohen's 'Bird on a Wire' on Breakfast with Sammy J.

Anita is curator of an upcoming show called Ladies Who Sing Leonard.
It is said there are two shows on 21 and 22 April 2021 but so far I can only find reference to one date -

Maybe Andrew and Murray might like to attend again but if so, it looks like they'd better be quick to book :)
