BASIL BREEN
“THE CREATION OF BASIL” ALBUM LAUNCH
plus support
KEITH EASTWOOD + PM SPUNK
Little Whelan’s • Sat 7th October 2023
Traveling down the road less traveled by, a man arrives somewhere undisclosed and unforeseen.
He finds himself face-to-face with the infinite.
Suddenly, purpose presents itself.
He awakens to the sound of a cosmic love ringing in his ear.
Inscribing the songs of his tale upon the canvas of time immemorial, he decrees: I WAS HERE
