Constructing the stage for the Leonard Cohen concert at Lissadell HouseAs the hugely anticipated Leonard Cohen concerts of the summer fast approach, promoters have lifted the lid on what's cooking at Lissadell House on July 31 and August 1.
Not only can music fans look forward to a three-hour performance by the legendary artist, there will also be a veritable feast of fine food from some of Ireland's best known food providers to choose from, with the emphasis on quality and taste, homemade and home-grown cooking.
With doors opening at 4 p.m. ahead of the live performance at 7.30 p.m., there will be plenty of opportunity to unwind and imbibe in the atmosphere of Lissadell.
With many food stalls and an array of wine bars serving cocktails, organic wine and champagne, concertgoers are encouraged to arrive early, avoid the traffic, and savour the culinary delights.
The food line-up will surely complement the superb set up for the two Cohen concerts.
The arc-shaped stage will be set just 50 metres away from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean with its stunning views of Benbulben. The stately house will provide a dramatic backdrop to the 47-metre stage on the front lawn for this intimately fully seated concert.
And as dusk descends and one of the greatest singer songwriters takes to the stage at 7.30 p.m. in the magical setting of Lissadell, an event of breathtaking magnificence will unfold.
