- Apvedceļš in concert
Organizers have canceled a planned three-day tour of England by the popular country group Apvedceļš from Latvia. The band was to play in Bradford, Wisbech and the Straumēni rest home in Catthorpe from April 18-20. Ticket sales were slower than expected and organizers could not risk a financial loss, Pēteris Pētersons told Latvians Online in an e-mail. The three concerts made up what was being titled LatRock6, to follow LatRock5, a three-day tour of England during March by the rock band Dzelzs Vilks.
