Thanks for the Dance – The Leonard Cohen Story

Thanks for the Dance features the poetry and songs of the legendary, Leonard Cohen, as Robert Doyle tells stories and anecdotes about Cohen’s life between wonderful renditions of the Canadian singer/songwriter songs.

The stage is set like Cohen’s last world tour and also features a visual display of his life running in the background.

Based in Wicklow town, Robert’s band are all life long players, from backing singers Louise Jameson, Jhil Quinn and Emma Nicolai, to bass guitarist Ben Dunne, drummer Keith Pogue and keyboard player Chiara Brown,. They are joined by musical director and lead guitarist, Fergal Cantebury, all behind lead singer Robert Doyle.

Robert has sung Cohen songs since discovering him at age 14 and met Leonard Cohen back in 1979, after attending his concert in Zurich. When Cohen was chatting with Robert and discovered he sang his songs, he asked him to sing for him and the band.

Cohen Unlimited sold out shows around Ireland in 2024, Galway, Wexford, Dundalk, Belfast, Dublin, Kilkenny,  Ennis and Waterford, bringing a show of stunning entertainment that will keep Cohen’s fans enthralled. The band also have the incredible honour of performing some songs from Cohen’s last two albums that Leonard didn’t get to perform to a live audience before he passed away in 2016.
