Now Available for 2023 Bookings!

Lee Gillett is an in-demand, experienced musician who performs as a solo entertainer in pubs, clubs and private events going out as “The Mean Eyed Cat”.

He can provide well over 2 hours of crowd-pleasing cover versions of various songs and hits from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s through to the modern day, or even provide an evening of “Classic Country”. For more information about “The Mean Eyed Cat” click here.

Although solo, The Mean Eyed Cat makes a very full sound due to playing harmonica and percussion “stomp box” as well as guitar and vocals. Recently he has also been experimenting with backing tracks and so can now provide a full band sound on certain songs when the occasion demands it.
