Folk legend Leonard Cohen has announced another Kent gig.

The Canadian singer-songwriter has added another date to his A Day at the Hop Farm show.

The 77-year-old will perform on Sunday, September 9 as well as his original Saturday, September 8 date at the venue in Beltring, near Paddock Wood.

Best known for his song Hallelujah, Cohen's Hop Farm shows are his only UK dates in 2012.

Crowds will be treated to three hour sets on both days, including classic songs and tracks from this year's his No2 album Old Ideas.

Organiser Vince Power said: "The demand has been overwhelming and it's fantastic to announce the extra date.

"These will be Leonard Cohen's only UK dates this year and we're over the moon he's decided to play them here.

"It promises to be a fantastic weekend."

Leonard Cohen's band includes Sevenoaks-born duo the Webb Sisters, the only British members of his world touring musicians and singers.

Tickets for the open-air, all-seated event, go on general sale at 9am on Monday, May 21.
