CONCERT CANCELLED
BACK SURGERY FORCES CANCELLATION
PETER, PAUL & MARY CONCERT

Health problems have forced the iconic folk trio of Peter, Paul & Mary to cancel their Playhouse Square May 17th show (which had been rescheduled following a postponement of their Nov. 2, 2007 booking due to Mary Travers’ back surgery).
A spokesperson for the trio stated that…  “Mary Travers has undergone two back surgeries. While her doctors anticipate a full recovery, the healing process is taking longer than hoped.  On her doctor's advice, regrettably, the Trio will have to cancel their upcoming concerts.”
Since no date is available for a rescheduled show at this time, refunds will be made.  All patrons will be issued a refund check by mail.
