GIGS RESCHEDULED DUE TO ILLNESS - Oslo, 29th March and Milan, 31st March

29/03/08

Laura and LM HQ would like to offer our most sincerest of apologies to fans in Norway and Italy, for canceling the shows that were due to take place tonight (March 29th), at Bla, and on the 31st, at La Casa 139.

Laura's health and voice have put up a firm fight, but unfortunately, they have deteriorated into full blown flu since performing in Sweden, and the team have made the difficult decision to come home early from the tour, so that Laura can recover properly.

Laura and Marcus are both really disappointed that they won't get the chance to play this time, but the LM HQ team are working hard to reschedule the shows.

So keep checking lauramarling.com for announcements about the rescheduled dates, once confirmed, and we hope that we can make it up to you, when Laura and her voice are back in action.

Stay well.
