    Nicked from Hotpress.com
    Lou Reed, Nick Cave and Jarvis Cocker are among the acts set to perform at a concert to pay tribute to the songs of Leonard Cohen.

    The Came So Far For Beauty show will take place at the Point Theatre on October 4, as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival. Each singer will perform their own take on the work of the Canadian singer-songwriter, in a show produced by Hal Willner.

    Also on the bill are Beth Orton, Antony Hegary of Antony and the Johnsons fame, and Gavin Friday, who is currently working with Wllner on a collection of sea chanteys along with the likes of Bono and Andrea Corr.

    Tickets for the show will cost from €39.50 to €70.

    bought two tickets last nice, didn't think they were for sale yet so got great seats (I think)

    only thing is dunno if any one I know would be as into it as me - Cohen is a genius and can just imagine some of the listed artists doing his stuff, e.g Jarvis Cocker
