A national treasure, celebrating his 5,000th gig!
Rock veteran John Otway is an English singer-songwriter who has built a sizeable cult audience through extensive touring, a surreal sense of humour and a self-deprecating underdog persona.
Otway dubbed himself “rock’n’roll’s greatest failure” after many unsuccessful attempts to produce a second hit single to follow his 1977 classic ‘(Cor Baby, That’s) Really Free’ with Wild Willy Barrett.
However, a mere quarter century later, he was back on Top of The Pops with the wonderful disco pastiche, ‘Bunsen Burner’ and back in the charts as a birthday present from his adoring and patient fans.
Expect madcap mayhem and some scintillating stunts from a man old enough to know better … and also to be surprised at just what a showman and musician really lies underneath the tomfoolery.
“A brilliant ability to inspire” – THE GUARDIAN
“Brilliant observationally … part of me just wants to stand up and applaud” – STEVE LAMACQ
“The audience were in fits of hysteria” – SALISBURY JOURNAL
