John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett have announced that they will be performing a rare Sussex concert. “Cor baby that’s really”.…great news!
The venue of choice is the rather wonderful multi-award-winning arts venue and café located in Shoreham-by-Sea, known as The Ropetackle. The concert is staged for Saturday 8th July and tickets can be purchased HERE.
This magnetic bond still holds after more than 40 years of attempted escapes and still loved for their total in-yer-face originality, the contrast between the deadpan humour of Wild Willy Barrett and mad onstage antics of John Otway are hilarious to watch. John’s lyrical genius and Willy’s outstanding musicianship – he seems to play almost every stringed instrument known to man, plus a few hybrids of his own making!
Ever keen to add a new dimension to the show, Willy has a new addition to his array of instruments. Beware the Moose Homp!!.
Willy’s interest in making instruments began when he commandeered two guitars made by his dad in 1965. One from an old guitar neck and a scaffold plank which became affectionately known as the Les Dawson, and the other branded the Mk1 Schitstik electric slide of similar pedigree. These instruments were used on many of the early tracks, including ‘Really Free’ and ‘Racing Cars’. willy's wonderland cartoon
