After the success of the
previous
editions, on July 4, 10, 11, 17 and 18, 2003, the third cycle of acoustic
concerts "Waiting for Waits" will be held, organised by Tomeu Gomila
with view to paying tribute to the Californian artist,
Tom
Waits, musician and filmmaker with a strong personality who has always
been identified with the darkest and underprivileged areas of society.
This third edition of the "Waiting for Waits" will have the important
presence of
Neal Casal who will
perform, accompanied by
Lisa
Germano, on July 17 in the head office of ARCA in Palma and on July
18 in the Cloister of Sant Francesc in Muro. Prior to this the Mallorcan
group,
El Diablo
en el Ojo will perform with a group of versions by Tom Waits. Because
of this double concert,
S'Altra
Web has published an interesting interview with Neal Casal by Joan
Andreu Juan Torrens.
The programme for this year is completed with performances by
JC
& Angelina Grimshaw on July 4 at the Sa Nostra Cultural Centre
in Palma and
Martha
Wainwright and
Peter Case on
July 10 at the ARCA head office in Palma and on July 11 at Sa Congregació
in Sa Pobla.
Tickets are between 12 and 14 euros, except the concert on July 4 at
