Enigmatic and mysterious, songwriter Leonard Cohen was an unflinching character who challenged us to listen more carefully, think more deeply and recognize our own fragility.

With a lifetime reputation of performing in this exact way and a love of the ‘pure song’ Keith James delivers a concert of Cohen’s amazing material in the most intimate and sensitive way imaginable.

"He challenged us to listen more carefully, speak more thoughtfully, think more deeply and recognize our own humanity," says Keith, who will be on stage at The Courtyard on Thursday, November 28 at 7.30pm.

The concert includes Cohen’s well known songs: Famous Blue Raincoat, Sisters of Mercy, Suzanne and Hallelujah alongside rarer and profound writing: Who by Fire, Joan of Arc and Secret Life.

Amongst a concert of Cohen's well known songs, including Famous Blue Raincoat, Sisters of Mercy, Suzanne and Hallelujah are also poems by Federico Garcia Lorca that Keith James has set to music. Lorca is said to be Cohen's greatest influence. Additionally, songs from Leonard Cohen's Album 'You want it Darker' released only 10 days before his death - produced by his son, Adam.
