About the event
Christine Tobin’s A Thousand Kisses is a beautiful re-working of eleven Leonard Cohen songs alongside some choice originals.
In her own writing, Christine specializes in idiosyncratic, highly musical poetic vignettes with a strong sense of story, so it’s no surprise that she weaves magic with the profound, sensual songs of Cohen. Chosen favourites from his early 1960’s albums include Suzanne, 1990’s Anthem, through to his 2001 release ‘Ten New Songs’. This show won a prestigious Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh Fringe , and the album received rave reviews.
Christine can be a junkyard blues philosopher or a snappy beat seductress. Her expressive range acknowledges finely acquired jazz, folk, and 20th-century European art song influences. Her rich sound was described by The Guardian as ‘Tobin’s 24-carat voice’.
With Dave Whitford double bass & guitarist Phil Robson who has worked with artists including Maceo Parker, Barbra Streisand, Kurt Elling, & Dave Liebman.
