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.

Eddi will also be appearing on programme 2, singing with Karen Matheson on Paul Brady's "Rainbow" and on programme 5.
