The highly-anticipated concert, to be held in the Royal Hall on Saturday, April 17, 2010 will see this Harrogate prog rock-ish band play brand new material from their forthcoming album - their first together in 35 years - plus classic tracks from the 1970s!
It's expected to be a speedy sell-out, bearing in mind the amount of international interest in the band now, never mind Harrogate, so fans are advised to book their tickets, costing £17.50 each, as soon as they can.
The new album, featuring all-new tracks, is at the mastering stage and it's hoped it will be on sale early December.
Meanwhile, the terrific live DVD of their triumphant reunion show from earlier this year is now on sale at the Blues Bar, as well as online.
For tickets for next year's show, telephone the HIC/Royal Hall box office or visit www.wallymusic.co.uk


A HARROGATE-based charity is putting on live Cajun-inspired music night to raise funds for a worthy cause.
Held at Lure Bar in Harrogate this Thursday, November 26, the band Bayou Gumbo will be the stars of the show organised by the Harrogate and District Sygnets.
An Otley-based outfit, it's worth noting that this eclectic band of instrumentalists don't just play traditional Louisiana Cajun but also blues and rock n' roll.
They've recently released a new CD called Rocking Hot Gig.
The Sygnets are a group of Harrogate businesswomen who get together to share advice and experiences while raising money for worthwhile causes.
The beneficiaries of the Lure Bar show will be Otley-based charity Chamelon which helps start up and maintain schools in poverty-stricken areas of South Africa.
Julie Burton, chairman of the Sygnets, said: "The event has been inspired by Doreen Hodgson, the founder of the Chameleon Charity who gave the Sygnets a presentation on her work. Bayou Gumbo kindly offered to play and the Lure Bar has been very generous, too, giving us the venue free of charge."
Chris Mailer, manager of Lure Bar said: "We were only too happy to help out. I took over the bar earlier in the year and want to offer a variety of entertainment here"
Tickets for next Thursday's show are priced £5, available from Lure Bar or by emailing sygnets@hotmail.co.uk

IT was good to hear that Quartet, a new jazz band specialising in what they call "smooth lounge,"did so well in their debut gig at The Mitre in Knaresborough, they've been asked to return this weekend to a venue which shortly celebrates its first birthday of live music since its through makeover.
And they've come up with a new twist on Radiohead's idea of 'free music' they pioneered with the release of their In Rainbows album a couple of years ago online.
The four-piece of experienced musicians who blend soul, blues and jazz into a sophisticated concoction, packed the place out last time during the venue's weekly Sunday night acoustic session. And they've not been quiet since then.
