EFDSS News

Eliza has recently experienced the resurgence of chronic asthma and vocal chord cyst problems (for which she had surgery several years ago). As a consequence - and in order to preserve her voice - Eliza's been urged by throat specialists to take time off to ensure a full recovery in the longer term. Though Eliza is very disappointed by having to withdraw from her autumn tour she's been looking forward to - and regrets any inconvenience it may cause - she has agreed to reduce her schedule.

Eliza intends to appear with her mother, Norma Waterson, on their Gift tour (3rd -15th December). For more information, visit Eliza’s website.
