Having recently seen them again at the Hammersmith Apollo I took some time to write out the bass part for Lingus.
This one was tricky, the chorus and first sax solo particularly so. I have left a couple parts out which I haven’t quite finished. If you have any comments/corrections, please use the comments section at the bottom.
