Event information

Christine Tobin sings Cohen
A Thousand Kisses Deep

A concert of Leonard Cohen songs with a sprinkling of other classics from BBC award-winning vocalist Christine Tobin, guitarist Phil Robson and double bassist Dave Whitford.

Leonard Cohen is considered to be one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century and Christine Tobin is acknowledged both here and on the international scene as one of the finest interpreters of his work.

As the Guardian's John L. Walters writes, "Christine is inspiring on her own material. But she is in a class of her own singing Leonard Cohen". Her "24 carat voice" and captivating arrangements are spellbinding, ploughing the depths and expressing the poetry of his lyrics with unalloyed soulfulness.

As well as the title song of the concert the programme will include favourites such as Everybody Knows, Tower Of Song, Dance Me To The End of Love, Hey That's No Way To Say Goodbye and many more. Lose yourself in the stories of these great songs brought to life by this world class trio.

"Sexy, gutsy, bluesy and beautiful". (Lionel Schriver, Orange prize-winning author of 'We Need To Talk About Kevin').
