Forget the green! If Leonard returns to Ireland, I'll wear green, purple, pink, red, black, white, magenta, (er, no orange). I will just be simply SO SO happy to see him performing in the most awesome country in the world, with the most awesome fans in the world!!!!

ps...Marie, if (and this is indeed a big IF) this happens, it will be because of you in San Jose! You are incredible!!!!!

Well I'm likely to be back in Europe this summer, so Ireland would be totally unbelievable and amazing.... or anywhere else really.... I just need notice so that I can plan.... pleeeeeeeze???!!!

Hi Joy,

I think so many of us feel the same way! I'm still waiting for Moscow to be confirmed.... Then I realize that Moscow would still be just over 3 months away. Guess we can't be too antsy! Then there is the anticipation/excitement regarding possible other venues. Some I think will be SOOOOOO far away that only a few of us may be able to attend, but I also think there may be some surprises!!! Hopefully Ireland will be one of them.....and maybe Israel...wish, wish....

What a wonderful new year this will be!!!!

didn' t he play dublin four times in a row this summer?

i mean: i don' t know whether the irish friends are the "most awesome fans in the world",
but one thing seems to be clear to me now:

they definitely take this longing!

i hope that you folks will get your show(s)!

meanwhile, i' ll keep my fingers crossed for berlin...

Good morning Maulwurf,

If (when) Leonard returns to Dublin next year you will have to put Dublin on your itinerary - then you will find out why we are "the most awesome fans in the world". Leonard said in the RHK in June 08 "I would love to bring you to all our concerts" - what an endorsement!!!!!!!

Maulwurf, we love to sing and it creates an amazing atmosphere at any concert. We're reverentially silent when necessary but we can sing to the heavens when required.

Just a small example - I was at a concert on Sunday night - Declan O'Rourke, an extremely talented young singer/songwriter - check him out folks. When he recited his poetry and sang songs about the famine, you could hear a pin drop such was the silence in the venue. When he wanted us to sing with him, we lifted the roof!

Folks, we can guarantee you a mighty time in Dublin.

Here's to 2010.

In song. Paula

hey paula!

thank you for talking so brave and so sweet!
really touching!

i will keep your words in mind.

if my pocket and my fear of travelling by plane don' t speak otherwise, well, who knows what will happen!
i' ve never been to ireland before, so it would be fine with me in any case...


greetings from berlin

Maulwurf -

Anything is possible if you want it enough! (and just in time for the show. The O2 is right next to the ferryport!)

Ciarán

We have to blame the football freaks for the delay in new confirmations. Just like a wise man said,
"we do not understand how such a minor sport (all running and so little scoring) could cause so much trouble" !
So, some patience is still needed!

Thanks Jarkko
You are the Man!
well to be honest...the 2nd Man!
Love Mutti (Leslie)

Jarkko,
... patience is the mother of science .. and life itself is a science . And only patience brings success in life and in science and knowledge. So for myself I can say that I will be patient, but I hope that my patience will be rewarded - like Leonard concert in Prague, Bratislava, Vienna, Krakow and near the place where I live

Are there implications that this tour will encompass the entire year?

ciarán,

thank you for planing the entire journey for me!

very kind!

Although I am willing to go to Eastern Canada, maybe to Dublin or Cork as I hear the Irish audiences are as wild or
wilder than San Jose and that was a lively crowd even separate from the forum members..right away you could tell they were totally
into Leonard..I found Victoria a bit like that too...
I would go anywhere in the US if the end of the tour is somewhere in the US...New Orleans would be interesting...but now folks...

I have to now put my bid in

for Saltspring Island in British Columbia Canada...but too small a venue..
then how about Victoria or Vancouver or Seattle or Edmonton...
thats all a hop skip and a jump for me!!!! puleeeeeez....
Mutti
