The John Otway Big Band
URL: http://www.theduchessyork.co.uk/whats-on/detail/8
If you thought the microphone-butting, ladder-leaping, shirt-ripping Aylesbury nutter was a treat on his own; prepare to be amused, amazed, apoplectic and anything else beginning with 'a' when he turns up with the full band. A tragicomic genius with the world's only double-necked guitar pointing in different directions and bending in the middle. The man who once upon a time if you bought the instrumental version of his single, would turn up at your house and sing the lyrics, will, as usual, entertain you as nobody has before. Well worth tipping up early for the solo dark comic music poetry of Harrogate's Ashlety Reaks, aptly summed up London's 12 Bar Club as "A Northern English nightmare of masks, explosions, football results, The Grumbleweeds, The Royle Family, senility and childhood". Spot on. Highly recommended!
