The Bothy Band aflyser

Grundlæggeren af irske The Bothy Band, Dónal Lunny, har for nylig været igennem en større operation og har brug for en længere periode for at genvinde helbredet. Det betyder, at The Bothy Band desværre må aflyse og udskyde deres planlagte koncerter i sommeren 2024. Blandt andre koncerten på Tønder Festival.

The Bothy Band har sendt denne meddelelse og hilsen:

“Founder member of the Bothy Band, Dónal Lunny, has recently undergone major surgery that will require a lengthy recuperation. This will prevent the Bothy Band from fulfilling all concerts planned for the summer and autumn of 2024.

We are mindful of the many people who were looking forward to the band’s performance at The Tønder Festival. The members of the Bothy Band very much regret that we are obliged to cancel all concerts for 2024, but the recovery of Dónal comes first.

We are hopeful that we can re-schedule concerts for 2025.

We would request that people respect Dónal’s privacy as he works towards recovery.”
