Schiavone said “Yucatan’s music is truly beautiful and this tour will give them more opportunity to perform live. We are also very pleased to have Mr Huw on board as his music is so clever and good fun – everyone loves Mr Huw.”Two extra locations have been added since the original tour as it visits Denbigh, Porthmadog, Bangor, Aberystwyth, Carmarthen and Cardiff over a months period.
