McNiff and Moreno and Green Note present
WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE
A celebration of the poetry and music of Leonard Cohen
Friday 20 September 2024 at 7:30pm
Join poet/singer-songwriter Gabriel Moreno and singer-songwriter Jason McNiff for a night of music and poems as they celebrate the 90th birthday of the great general of song, Leonard Cohen.
McNiff and Moreno will be accompanied by the Brothers of Mercy: Ned Cartwright on piano, Richard Moore on violin and Matt Armstrong on double bass. The band will be performing a selection of compelling Cohen numbers plus a series of their own songs which pay tribute to Cohen’s magical formula of merging poetry and music.
The show proposes a jaunt across the work and life of the great song-poet and a joyful convergence of musicality and lyricism. The ‘Waiting for the Miracle’ show has received rave reviews across the UK in 2024 but this special London edition taking place at Heath Street Baptist Church in Hampstead Heath very near the flat where Cohen himself lived in 1959 promises to be the pinnacle of this year’s performances.
