John Otway is an English singer-songwriter who has built a cult audience through extensive touring. Otway initially received some coverage on the back of punk rock and a performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test.
His sixth single, the half-spoken love song “Really Free” reached number 27 in the UK Singles Chart in 1977. Otway has consistently toured throughout the decades, growing a reputation as both an eccentric live performer and one of the hardest working touring musicians on the circuit.
On 2 April 2022, Otway played his 5,000th career gig, which, as a milestone event, was held at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
This show will feature performances of many of his popular songs from his career, played with the full Otway Big Band.
