FURTHER AHEAD

Having brought the curtain down with some style on the old Town & Country Club, Van Morrison will open up its successor The Forum on 4 May; credit card bookings, 081-963 0940. Even more outrageously, the reclusive but still sprightly Leonard Cohen is threatening to emerge blinking into the spotlight. The date is 10 May. The place is the Royal Albert Hall, 071-589 8212. Party hats are optional. Somewhat less surprisingly, Prince has announced two outdoor dates in the summer. The dainty wizard plays Edinburgh Meadowbank Stadium, 031-557 6969, on 29 July, and Wembley Stadium, 081- 900 1234, on 31 July.
