Tom Waits For No Man

Event Information

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 decades-spanning back catalogue.

Tom Waits for No Man is a homage to the songwriting prowess of one of America’s most enduring composers.They don’t seek to impersonate Waits' work, rather celebrate it; sometimes rearranging the material, seeking new interpretations and sometimes by stripping it back and letting the sheer calibre of the songwriting speak for itself.

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’, ‘Tango till they’re sore’; '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.

Seating will be allocated when you arrive at the venue for the show
