Earlier this year Sturgess reproduced an article I wrote about the Leonard Cohen Concert experience and the interaction between Leonard and his fans.
This was based specifically on his three concerts in Quebec last year as well as my observations at the many concerts I had attended over the last five years.
My article was reproduced in two (or was it three?) music publications and I was both appreciative and a little humbled by the favourable comments it received, not least by the feedback, observations (and corrections!) from members of the Forum.
I have now belatedly had the opportunity to make the corrections that were pointed out to me as well as one or two small edits trying to improve on some laboured prose!
For those of you who missed it first time around you can find it on my website here together with a small selection of the over 5000 images I have taken of Leonard et al in concert in recent years.

Like any writer I am always grateful to receive feedback and corrections either here or on my web site!
I apologise for the length but it appears it was well received and struck a chord with most Cohen aficionados.
