The Baritone Voice

"I did not come to Yeats Country just to fool you" - Cohen

Leonard Cohen graced Sligo with his presence when he performed two sold out shows infront of over 20,000 fans during the August Bank Holiday Weekend. The audience enjoyed every single moment of the performance which were surrounded by the beauty of "Yeats Country" and Benbulben. Cohen lapped up every moment of the audiences reaction and was overjoyed by their appreciative response to himself and his bands output throughout the over three hour performance.
