Last Saturday nigtht I saw a performance at the Chaffey Theatre called Belly of a Drunken Piano performed by Stewart D'Arrietta.

And it was a great performance of a selection of Tom Waits' catalogue.

D'Arrietta was brilliant as Waits - playing the character to perfection, while also adding his own personal touches to the show, without ever straying too far from his subject.

It's performed with a three piece band and also a female singer for occasional duos.

It was a really great performance and even more notable for the fact that Chaffey managers placed the audience up on stage, up close and personal with the performers.

I didn't realise I knew so many Waits songs! I'll certainly be looking to listen to some more in the future.

If you get the chance, go see this show.
