Sat 9 Harewood House Yorkshire Picnic Concert with Seth Lakeman, 3 Daft Monkeys & Firework Finale www.imlconcerts.co.uk CANCELLED…
Unfortunately it is with regret that we have to announce that the concert at Harewood House on Saturday 9 August 2008 will not be taking place. This is due to a change in commitments from other artists on the show on the day before that has made it difficult for the promoter to put the show on. Unfortunately it’s out of our hands. The promoter will, of course, offer a full refund on all tickets sold. Please direct any enquiries about refunds for tickets to your original point of purchase.
However your ticket will be valid for "A Beautiful Day Out" at Arley Hall on Saturday 12 July – where we’ll be joined by Seth Lakeman, 3 Daft Monkeys, Dreadzone, Nick Harper and more acts to be announced very soon as the day will be expanded with music from 1pm to 10.30pm. More details very soon!!
