John Otway is so bad he's brilliant. Cant sing, cant dance, cant even walk across the stage half the time, but he puts on a great show.

  • I saw him for the first time around ´73 when he used to play in a pub in oxford and he used to swing down on a rope hanging from the ceiling, while doing a tarzan impression !

    I´ve read a message on this site that said he couldn´t sing, couldn´t play and couldn´t even walk right, I don´t agree with any that and apart from being a great live act, he wrote some brilliant songs, like "trying times" . . . .

  • Yep it was me that said he couldnt sing. John, in his autobiography, would back that up with "had a vocal range of almost an octave" (or similar). But that doesnt detract from the fact that the guy is pure entertainment. Im a massive fan, he should have had more success and Id agree with the comment on brilliant songs, "Josephine", "What a Woman", "Greeny Blue", "Misty Mountain" and loads more... I wish him all the success in the world, he deserves it.

  • Brilliant ! Dont suppose you've got Beware of the flowers.....?

  • hey, wiggle58...maybe we crossed paths. my youth was also extremely misspent but at least we had the honour of misspending our adolescence to the accompaniment of these brilliant lunatics.
