Event information

Tom Waits for No Man’ is a set of sensitive and compelling reimagining’s of the music of Tom Waits.
Vocalist and composer Lindsay Hannon (“A voice soulful, brooding & unselfconscious in its longing” - Jazz Journal) has chosen and re-arranged a selection of songs from the legendary Tom Waits decades spanning back catalogue. From the tender nostalgia of 'Martha', the gospel infused 'Picture in a frame' and the variously, dark, comedic and lewd content of such numbers as 'Pasties and a G-string’, 'Christmas card from a hooker in Minneapolis’; this may be an opportunity to reacquaint yourself with this stellar artist, or perhaps discover for the first time, a few of the reasons that maintain his reputation as songwriter of international acclaim.
Lindsay Hannon – Vocals Alan Law – Piano
Paul Grainger – Double bass

Opening for Tom Waits for No Man will be Lee Maddison who in 2017 provided the soundtrack for the BBC documentary 'Life of a Mountain: Blencathra'. Airplay on BBC 6 music followed and in the same year, Maddison's provocative dig at the music business 'Charlatans and Blaggers' was given the track of the week slot on BBC Tees.
'Lee Maddison's bluesy acoustic guitar, and his hushed growl of a voice, both occasionally recall early John Martyn'. - folking.com
'Lee Maddison weaves one of the most beautiful tapestries imaginable'. - Maverick Magazine
