Dave will also showcase some of the Cohen-influenced songs from his recent original albums “Duende” and “Shifting Boundaries”. The show is a must for Cohen fans as well as those interested in the art of songwriting and lovers of poetry, music and theatre. Reviews for “Travelling Light” “Dave Starke’s gorgeous voice and engaging stage persona embody Cohen and win over the audience from the first few notes of his first number. Music lovers should not miss this consummate tribute to one of the world’s great songsmiths.” Mike Raftery, Durban Folk Club “Singer-guitarist Starke pays excellent tribute to Leonard Cohen, offering not only a well-researched history of the man, his poetry, music and achievements, but also insight into Cohen’s thought processes. It is an elegant and captivating show with the cool and confident, Starke doing a great job with hits such as ‘So Long Marianne’, ‘Suzanne’, ‘Sisters of Mercy’,‘Hallelujah’ and the moving ‘Treaty’, as well as other hits and lesser-known material. Highly Recommended!” Billy Suter, The Mercury “Dave Starke as ‘Cohen’ was the last scheduled show at the Rosebank Theatre, and one of the most brilliant. Quite simply Starke rocks!” William de Villiers Reviews for Dave’s original albums “Shifting Boundaries” and “Duende” “This is the height of reverential beauty....naked holiness...evidence that Starke is a master writer.” Michael Erfort, Oh Captain, My Captain “An incantatory time-stopper, South African singer-songwriter, Dave Starke’s second album Shifting Boundaries is a crucible of pain, sorrow, love, and small mercies melted together to produce a silvery, meaningful beauty.” Catherine Del Monte, Texx and the City “This is freaking excellent!” Shiloh Noone, CapeTalk With over 70 performances under the belt, Travelling light remains Dave’s most enduring and acclaimed musical tribute show. Past performances have included The National Arts Festival, Hilton Arts Festival, The Rhumbelow Theatre, Rosebank Theatre and many more... - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/mitchells-plain/leonard-cohen-tribute-by-dave-starke/200029666704651 - **Event Categories**: Art, Music, Theatre, literary-art, Festivals, Entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://qkt.io/Yb6EED?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=mitchell%27s+plain-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Mitchell's Plain - **state**: WC - **country**: South Africa - **location**: Brass Bell Kalk Bay - **lat**: -34.12605698035 - **long**: 18.45062657525 - **full address**: Brass Bell Kalk Bay, 73 Main Rd, Fish Hoek, 7975, South Africa, Mitchell's Plain ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: Wirelesscowgirl Events (https://allevents.in/org/wirelesscowgirl-events/18218122) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/7fc00a73f43de53c8eb54f347d9301abc58aad3c52527707dd3e67341cc485b4-rimg-w1200-h1697-dc030303-gmir?v=1771120310 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/afb785dd30e605eb69933b6787d76b580abc6f42529ad4f3aa9570735a581d2c-rimg-w300-h300-dc030303-gmir?v=1771120310 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Brass Bell Kalk Bay, 73 Main Rd, Fish Hoek, 7975, South Africa, Mitchell's Plain - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Wirelesscowgirl Events - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** Art, Music, Theatre, literary-art, Festivals, Entertainment - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Leonard Cohen Tribute by Dave Starke ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "MusicEvent", "name": "Leonard Cohen Tribute by Dave Starke", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/7fc00a73f43de53c8eb54f347d9301abc58aad3c52527707dd3e67341cc485b4-rimg-w1200-h1697-dc030303-gmir?v=1771120310", "startDate": "2026-02-21", "endDate": "2026-02-21", "url": "https://allevents.in/mitchells-plain/leonard-cohen-tribute-by-dave-starke/200029666704651", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Brass Bell Kalk Bay", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "73 Main Rd, Fish Hoek, 7975, South Africa", "addressLocality": "Mitchell's Plain", "addressRegion": "WC", "addressCountry": "ZA" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "-34.12605698035", "longitude": "18.45062657525" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "“Travelling Light - The songwriting legacy of Leonard Cohen”\nPerformed by Dave Starke - Written by Perran Hahndiek\n\nUpstairs at The Brass There's The Theatre Dining Room , it has the elegance of school railway Charm.
