John Otway

Do you all know John Otway? If not I recommend you go to see him when he's doing a gig near you.

Check out his web site.

If you don't know he emerged from punk and became a star after falling off some speakers on Old Grey Whistle Test. He really doesn't mind making a pratt of himself and regularly injures himself on stage. He does also from time to time sing some really moving songs - apart from Headbutts, Really free and Bunsen Burner. The last 2 of those were his hits 25 years apart. Bunsen Burner being a hit was his 50th birthday present from his loyal fans.

Go see him. You won't be disappointed.

I saw John last night,a cracking evening was had by all

He's a star

Where was that? I must go again as I don't think I saw him last year. I keep meaning to go on the Dunkirk trip but last year I was working.

A small venue in Kings Heath (Birmingham). It was the first time I've seen him; it hopefully won't be the last.

Everyone should see him at least once - and it won't cost you a bomb. Did you join in with House of the Rising Sun?
