Arthur Smith Sings Leonard Cohen - The Final Tribute. The day before the presidential election last year, Leonard Cohen finally fell silent. In Arthur Smith Sings Leonard Cohen - The Final Tribute, Arthur, in the melodious company of the glamourous Smithereens, revisits and revises the acclaimed show they performed in Edinburgh, London, Galway and Berlin. 'Touching, uplifting and very funny' (London Evening Standard). 'Smith really does sing Cohen, sincerely and affectionately. It's obvious that the comedian has found a lot of meaning in the songwriter's work' (Chortle.co.uk).
