Leonard Cohen - 14th Nov 2016

It was a sad day for music, songwriting and poetry when Leonard Cohen died. He will be sorely missed.

Many of us have been fans for decades and have eagerly followed the release of each one of his books and albums. Some of us are lucky enough to have seen him live in concert. If the other concerts were anything like the one I attended, they would have been truly moving occasions. I felt it was a privilege to have been able to be there.

Now he has gone, perhaps you would like to read one of his own books (Beautiful Losers, The Favourite Game, Energy of Slaves, Selected Poems, Flowers for Hitler, or Parasites of Heaven, to name but a few) or maybe you would like to read something about him such as a biography or Vinson & Friedlander's Songs of Leonard Cohen. Come in to the shop or have a look on our website. You are bound to find something of interest.

He was one of the greats of the music world and some feel that if any musician was going to get the Nobel Prize then he should have been the one.  What do you think?
