Iona will be gigging in England in October and in Germany and Belgium in November, as previously reported. Plus a special fundraising gig in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands on November 16 "to help Frank and his wife Marlou fulfill an incredible dream. 2 Hearts Mission is a project set up by Frank and Marlou van Essen to help fund their adoption of 2 children from Africa, and to support orphanages in Uganda.

"Adoption is a very expensive endeavour in The Netherlands these days, and Frank and Marlou need all the help they can get to fulfill their dream! An offering for this will be held during the concert. All donations are tax deductable, and will be administered by the Support Trust Foundation.

"Marlou: 'If you cannot make it to the concert, but would like to support our cause, all donations are very welcome! Bank details can be found at www.supporttrust.nl under "Contact." Please include the cause "2 Hearts Mission" in your comments when making a donation. Thank you so much for your help & support!'" More details on the concert at the Iona website.
