2021 Tour Updates

Happy New Year to you all, we hope you keep safe and well throughout 2021.

A new year brings new hope. However given the present COVID situation and the many challenges it brings, we are left with no option but to postpone our planned Spring / Summer 2021 tours. Whilst the past number of weeks have been positive on the vaccine front, the reality is we are only three months away from our Spring Tours.  As long as there is uncertainty with airport testing, quarantine restrictions, vaccine roll out timeframes etc. ..  we are simply left with no choice but to postpone. Tour participants were notified in December / early January of postponements. This will come as a major disappointment to all, however we have to put all our health and safety interest first.

We are happy to confirm we have a full tour schedule for Autumn ’21, with limited places still available. Thrilled to announce that Kevin Crawford will be joining Colin Farrell and Dave Curley for their October tour.  We also have our Spring ’22 tour dates and music leads all confirmed. Please see details below.

In the meantime, please stay safe and healthy and looking forward to meeting you on a ‘Wild Atlantic Music Tour’ journey ….
