April 2008 Irish dates cancelled

Wednesday 12th March 2008

Due to Eddi hurting her back while touring in Australia
she has had to cancel the proposed Irish tour in April 2008. Her
injury will more than likely require surgery and she will need to rest
and have a good length of recovery time. Eddi is terribly disappointed
that she has had to cancel the tour, but her doctors have urged her
not to do anything rigorous until she is fully recovered.
