The York Waits are on Tour.

[R. T. Taylor]

Sorry for the last minute posting. I have been off the list for awhile
and this might have already been posted.

The York Waits are a great group of musicians from York UK of course.
They are making their first tour of the US starting in Huston on Dec.
10th.

They have a web page at:

http://www.intr.net/bleissa/lists/yorkwait.html

It is well worth traveling to see and hear them.
Tower Records sells some of their CD's.

And this is the tour schedule from that web page.

Shawms over America!
