He was blowing a wind midi controller - according to the Yamaha website they 'make expressive wind control more accessible than ever before', I'm sure that Le Petomane might argue with that statement.

What was the mandolin that the guy sitting down was playing? I've seen 12 string mandolins with four triple courses but that had six double courses - anyone know?

As with the German composer, Handel, he certainly likes a hallelujah...was it an electronic version of the Belgian saxophone that chap was blowing on..?

I will NEVER be convinced that wasnt written as a Comedy Song !

There was recently a Leonard Cohen theme night run in a city centre pub in Leicester, and the organisers took the risk of running it in an upstairs room with an open window.
