Spanning Tom Waits’ extraordinary 40-year career, from “Closing Time” to “Orphans”, “Lowside of the Road” is Barney Hoskyns’ unique take on one of rock’s great enigmas. Like Bob Dylan and Neil Young, Waits is a chameleonic survivor who’s achieved long-term success while retaining cult credibility and outsider mystique. From his perilous ‘jazzbo’ years in ’70s Los Angeles to the multiple-Grammy winner of recent years – by way of such shape-shifting ’80s albums as Swordfishtrombones – this exhaustive biography charts Waits’ life step-by-step and album-by-album. Affectionate and penetrating, and based on a combination of assiduous research and deep critical insight, this is a outstanding investigation of a notoriously private artist and performer – the definitive account to date of Tom Waits’ life and work.

Fly Fishing Experience Enjoy personal tuition from a professional instructor on one of the UK’s beautiful trout lakes and rivers. You’ll be “wet fly” fishing – this means that you are using a fly travelling through the water to attract the fish. It’s much more of a skill than “course fishing”, but easier to learn than “dry fly fishing”. This is a great opportunity to try your hand at one of life’s more serene activities. After a warm welcome on arrival you’ll first learn a little about the theory behind the art of fly fishing and have the opportunity to get to grips with casting before you go down to the water. With a fly attached to your line you try your luck, with the instructor always on hand to advise on fishing techniques. Savour the fresh air and tranquillity and you never know you might catch a trout or two! All the equipment you need is provided. About Fly Fishing Experience When can you go?
