John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett

John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett

27 Feb 2027 - 27 Feb 2027

John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett have been at it .... and each other.... for over 50 years. Hilarious . totally outrageous . superb musicianship: it's guaranteed you'll never see anything like it again. Totally unmissable! On the road again with their ALIVE AND GIGGING tour, this magnetic bond still holds after more than 50 years of attempted escapes. Still loved for their total in-yer-face originality, the contrast between the deadpan humour of Barrett and mad onstage antics of Otway are hilarious to watch. Johns lyrical genius is ably complimented by Willys outstanding musicianship (he seems to play almost every stringed instrument known to man, plus a few hybrids of his own making including the Bagpuss!) For any Otway/Barrett virgins out there who dont know what to expect, be prepared for everything from bare-chested theremin playing to wah wah wheelie bin as the duo jump from one hit and 40 near misses to another: An amazing and irreverent performance by two master entertainers. Please check date carefully before booking as all sales are final and non-refundable unless the event is cancelled.
