Arthur Smith sings Leonard Cohen at Edinburgh Fringe

[BrokenBanjo]

For those who wished Leonard would come to Scotland and were disappointed, maybe this is the next best thing:

I heard it got a great reception last time round (13 years ago) but didn't see the show.

It's a great show. We went on Sunday 4th August. On at The Pleasance Courtyard. The show is about an hour long.

I sent a photo of the flyer to DrHGuy -

It's a good show - we really enjoyed it. Arthur sang a few songs Leonard doesn't do in concert very much, if at all. It's a show of story telling, about Arthur Smith and his mother.
Arthur deals with the big ‘D’s of life - death, disappointment, diabetes, dementia, darkness, desire and dancing.

Just back from this show, would strongly recommend it to any fans of Leonard. A little bizarre at first, but AS treats LC with appropriate respect. Just as well for him!
