Cohen Unlimited are a group of Irish professional musicians who were formed to create an incredible show called ‘Thanks for the dance’ - The Leonard Cohen Story.

The show features the Poems and songs of the legendary Canadian singer songwriter Leonard Cohen, and singer Robert Doyle tells stories and anecdotes between the songs about Cohen’s life, the story behind the songs and about meeting Cohen.

The stage is set like Cohen’s last world tour and also features a visual display of his life running in the background.

All the band are based in Wicklow Town and are all lifelong musicians, from backing singers Louise Jameson, Jhil Quinn and Violinist Enid Conaghan, to Bass guitarist Ben Dunne, Drummer Keith Pogue and Keyboard player Chiara Brown, musical director and lead guitarist, Fergal Cantebury to Lead singer Robert Doyle, who has done charity shows for 40 years but unbelievably only turned professional the week he got his pension in September 2021. Robert has sung Cohen songs since discovering him at age 14 and met Leonard Cohen back in 1979 after attending his concert in Zurich. When Cohen was chatting with Robert and discovered he sang his songs, he asked him to sing for him and the band.

Cohen Unlimited sold out every performance in 2024 from Galway to Wexford to Dundalk, Belfast and Dublin, Kilkenny, Ennis and Waterford, and this year are playing a charity concert to raise funds for the RNLI March 8th and on March 16th they have just about sold-out Irelands most famous theatre, The Gaiety theatre in Dublin.

2.5 hours of stunning entertainment that will keep Cohen’s fans enthralled, and the band have the incredible honour of performing some songs from Cohen’s last two albums that he never got to perform to a live audience before he passed away in 2016, as well as all his best known hits.
