John Otway

I can't be his only fan here. Perhaps just the only one who will actually admit it? :mrgreen:

He's got a new album out on May 1st, called Monserrat, and here's a sample track from it, entitled "Seagulls On speed" and it's great.

I remember him back in the 70's with Wild Willy Barrett, I earned a detention at school for singing " Cor baby that's really free " in an English lesson.

Saw him in Derby a few years ago. His act is as mad as ever.
The audience participation version of 'House of the Rising Sun's is hilarious.

He never stopped. His fans clubbed together to get Bunsen Burner into the charts in 2002
