That was a great watch - he's such a daft bugger

The highlight of my one visit to Glastonbury in 2011 - I was heading back to my tent (can't recall why) and ducked into the Acoustic Stage tent to avoid a sudden heavy shower, just as someone announced "next up, John Otway". I had a fantastic time singing along and watching him leaping about

Nutter!  

Brilliant.

Seen JO with both his full band and solo. Brilliant. Barmy. Entertaining. The best best gigs I've ever had the pleasure of attending.

I saw Otway & Barrett way back; Otway jumped off a speaker and landed on his head.

Ow Chewyl is a Gowin' Home!

The funniest thing you will ever see is this. It's like the worst nightmare for an Guitarist on stage.

4 minutes well spent, I think.

The bits between from 3:00 should have you wetting yourself, but you need to watch it all.

I’m pretty sure I watched that at the time it was (first) broadcast.

I was at the premier (I'm listed in the credits as a producer)  I've seen him loads of times (including the Tent tour). met him most times and and had a drink with him on various occasions  he's a complete nutter but a lovely warm human being. The man's a diamond!

He supported Jilted John on his 40th anniv. tour a year or so ago, good night that was.

He wrote some very good songs actually

Watched Otway the Movie on/off over the last 24 hours.

What a f-cking legend is John Otway!!

Bonkers!

Now, I've got this idea ....

A mate of mine made the film, it was all done with a Canon DSLR and GoPros and then edited in his spare room.

Excellent. I was impressed by the fact that we actually managed to be in the movie due to the red carpet premiere being filmed and edited into the film an hour before we watched it in the theatre!!

Yeah I remember Steve talking about that and thinking he was crazy to even consider it. I’m amazed he pulled it off but he managed it superbly. He’s a clever guy but it helped that he’s always been a massive Otway fan (and a close friend of his too) so wanted to do something really special for him. All done on a tiny budget too.

That brings back some memories.. Thank you!

The headbutts number is hilarious :-)

Saw Otway a few years back supporting Wilko Johnson. Mad as a hatter, hilarious, and a great entertainer. Really looking forward to watching this. Thanks for the heads up.
