Zenith Arena

Dinner tonight was coconut and sweet potato soup, then ratatoui or seafood tagine and a ridiculous mars bar cheesecake to finish.  The backstage was very light and airy and most things went smoothly so everyone seemed happy.  The smoothie machine (in the green room) didn’t want to behave though which I experienced after Leonard’s daily protein shake when I made a chocolate energy boost with some Cacao powder and most of it painted the table.  Luckily Roscoe’s son Charlie was on hand so he, Lisa and I did some investigating and thought we had fixed it……

Until…….

The next gig when Leonard went to make his smoothie again and the whole things blew up!  Happily L’s suit did not get a direct hit.

The day after the Nantes gig we left in the middle of a torrential rain storm and we had all made a run for it to the bus but the rain just became too strong.  Several of us took shelter under the awning of a local cafe and some hid in a bus shelter till it was over - we thought it only rained like that in California!

Our curious hotel was up a side street and the tour bus would not fit so we all went for a wander on foot.  L and the rest of the band seemed very happy to be back in France and Nantes greeted us with lovely warm weather.

Then we take Berlin…………….

We were all really happy to be back at the O2 and back in this incredible city.  Jarkko and Eija were with us from Helsinki so we all had a chance to eat together backstage before the show.  Dinner tonight was onion soup, chick pea and aubergine curry and salad - Delish

Hi everyone,

Thought you might like to see a few pictures of Koln the night we arrived.  The bridge and ‘church’ look gorgeous and we enjoyed looking at the personalised padlocks that people had locked along the bridge (people throw the key’s into the water and make a wish!)  Leonard locked a padlock on the bridge too.

The next day (gig day) Hattie and I went out and about and found a health food shop to stock up on tea and miso soup, plus a few food essentials.

Our first show on this Summer 09 European leg of the Leonard Cohen World Tour. Everyone in the band and crew seems refreshed after a quick break to go home and visit family. We’re going to start doing some more foyer-meet ups before the show soon, but the first few shows will be hectic for everyone, getting back in to the swing and getting over the jet lag!

Welcome to the all new Webb Sisters’ blog!  Charley and Hattie look forward to sharing with you some stories, photos, and videos from the road.  Currently they are on tour with Leonard Cohen as part of his backing band.  You can catch their breath-taking version of Leonard’s song “If It Be Your Will” as a part of his show.

Cheers!
