The Old Black Cat Jazz Club meets each month, on the third Friday of the month, for relaxed performances in beautiful surroundings. All are welcome.

Tom Waits for No Man is a homage to the song writing prowess of one of America’s most enduring composers.
 They don’t seek to impersonate Waits work, but rather, celebrate it.

Vocalist and composer Lindsay Hannon 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 ‘The Piano has been Drinking’, ‘Way down in a Hole’, and ‘Christmas card from a Hooker in Minneapolis’; this outstanding live show is both intimate and raucous, playful and moving, and appeals to both established Waits fans and newcomers alike.

Band personnel: 
Lindsay Hannon (vocal), 
Alan Law (piano), 
Paul Grainger (double bass), 
Brendan Murphy (percussion)

“A voice soulful, brooding & unselfconscious in its longing” 
– Jazz Journal
