Hey Mr Bass Man – Eddie Lee Tribute
Hawkswell Theatre, Sligo 8pm €20/€18/€15 hawkswell.com
Bassist Eddie Lee has been making good music happen west of the Shannon since his glory days with Those Nervous Animals back in the 1980s, and in recent years has been the driving force behind the hugely successful Sligo Jazz Project. Though there's plenty of miles left in the tank, this Hawkswell Theatre tribute has the feel of a testimonial as he is joined by friends, including guitarist Mike Nielsen, No Crows and the Nervous Animals.
