>                   Loreena McKennitt tour dates 1996

>1. Loreena is not doing a "tour" per se. She is working on a new album and she 
>will do a full tour -  yes, probably including your town or somewhere close
>- in 
>1997 when the new album comes out.
>
>2. She is doing four (or possibly five) dates this year, accompanied by her 
>band, in the month of July. I have no reason to think that there will be any 
>other dates or that she will suddenly play in Dallas, or Dublin, or Dusseldorf.
>If she does, I will put it on the website. I do not think it is likely that she
>will.
>
>3. Here are the dates. Please check your local papers for details of tickets 
>and showtimes and venue address. I cannot, unfortunately, give you exhaustive 
>information about every aspect of the dates. I do not,  for example, have

>office or the like.
