Listen "Chatting with John Otway"
Episode Synopsis
The self-proclaimed Rock & Roll's Greatest Failure's defining moment came in an improvised 1977 Old Grey Whistle Test live performance that made him an overnight sensation.
This English singer-songwriter has built up a cult following down the years through extensive touring, a surreal sense of humour and a self-deprecating underdog persona. In this episode, we talk about that plus working with Wild Willie Barrett and recording at Epstein's house in Montserrat. John also reveals the deep depression he was in when he decided to write his autobiography.
With his 5,000th gig planned for next year (April 2nd, 2022) at the Shepherds Bush Empire, this is a quirky podcast you won't want to miss.
