Stu Thomas - international man of mystery and musical maverick.

He met Tom Waits in a dream, where Tom said to him: "You’re going the right way…”

Stu has been consulting with Mr Waits via ouija board or crystal ball ever since. On occasion, they meet on the astral plane in a bullet train where they share small trays of chicken-fish and green chartreuse.

Via a system of smoke signals and flying trout, they share brain jewels of inspiration. They also co-own a timeshare umbrella in Micronesia.

Stu Thomas plays Tom Waits on Tuesday 12th Nov at The Drunken Poet. Don’t miss it or Medusa will stone you silly.
