If you can’t wait for the first Further into Jazz gig that takes place a week on Friday then the build-up couldn’t be easier this very weekend as there’s a rare chance in the Fermanagh area to check out a legend of the music on the Irish jazz scene, Derry jazz icon saxophonist Gay McIntyre, who’s appearing with a strong band at Ardhowen theatre on Saturday night. Singer Victoria Geelan, whose own band Further into Jazz’s Neil Burns plays in, is also guesting at the gig.
