CANNON, Campbell, Watchorn & O’Connor have been forced to postpone a number of concerts, including one in York, after Eamonn Cambell had a medical operation this week.

The Irishmen were scheduled to play the music of The Dubliners at the York Barbican on February 18 but this show is being re-arranged for May or June. Tickets for this month’s show will remain valid. If you need a refund, however, phone the Barbican box office on 0844 854 2757.

The March leg of the tour will go ahead as planned. “We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of the fans who have continued to support us and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone once we get Eamonn back on his feet,” say the band.
