Eamon McNelis.

THIS week, Geoff Page’s Jazz at Smiths would have featured the Eamon McNelis Quintet in a tribute to Charlie Parker on the centenary of his birth. Page is asking for donations to show appreciation of hard-pressed musos and plans to do this for each of the jazz concerts not held during lockdown. Jazz lovers should EFT an amount to the Jazz at the Gods account (BSB 082902, Acc No 865946006) marked Eamon McNelis and Page will send it on to him to distribute among the musicians.
