The John Otway Band

**Safe As Milk Promotions and New Cross Live present**

**The John Otway Band**

Rock veteran John Otway dubbed himself “rock’n’roll’s greatest failure” after many unsuccessful attempts to produce a second hit single to follow his 1977 classic '(Cor Baby, That’s) Really Free' with Wild Willy Barrett.

However, a mere quarter century later, he was back on Top of The Pops with the wonderful disco pastiche, ‘Bunsen Burner’ and back in the charts as a birthday present from his adoring and patient fans.

And, more recently, his 'Beware Of The Flowers Cause I’m Sure They’re Going To Get You Yeah' voted the seventh greatest lyric of all time in a BBC poll.

Expect madcap mayhem and some scintillating stunts from a man old enough to know better…..and also to be surprised at just what a showman and musician really lies underneath the tomfoolery.
