How far would you go?

Post by Andrew (Darby) »

My curiosity is about how far folk would go (literally and financially) to see Leonard perform live in a concert at an indeterminate location (so all can particpate in the poll). The assumption is that he would only perform at one venue, with sufficient performances to cater for the demand of fans, but it would not be a tour as such.

I'm not entirely sure what this would establish or how useful it might be, but I am curious nevertheless! :wink:

Cheers
Andrew (Darby) :)

As I've never seen him at all I would travel absolutely anywhere. If there were a few venues I'd try to see him at as many as possible.

In an ideal world I would like to see him in Australia in the same year as a Lions tour and an Ashes series.

After I have had intenstive therapy I would travel anywhere, Jurica please do not sell your inner organs they are needed by you and the sound of the dialysis equipment would detract from the music. :shock:

It would be great to meet up with you (at the concert) because of such a set of circumstances! :D

(What's more, I promise I would not be uncharitable about Oz successes in these two sporting arenas. :wink: )

That's highly likely!

Also, if I haven't emailed you already, I really enjoyed reading your LC files report on the Verona gathering. :D

It sounded like it was most enjoyable - despite Jarkko being reduced to a 'dog's body' on the third day! :wink:
