John Otway & Wild Willy Barratt

JOHN OTWAY & WILD WILLY BARRAT

Musician Pub May 18th 2023

I love a genuine english eccentric barmpot... and Thursday night the The Musician Pub gave us two for the price of one with the welcome return of the legendary John Otway & Wild Willy Barratt who delivered their customary set of songs and lunacy to a packed audience.

Along with the madness it easy easy to overlook the Musicianship of Willy, who played fiddle and a range of both electric and acoustic guitars as well s the wheelie bin. while John contributed acoustic guitar, theramin and body drums...

The set is primarily original numbers, but it was something of a surprise when a rock/bluegrass introduction heralded a performance of "Two Little Boys"... it has never sounded quite like this before!.

As well as Otway's body drums routine we had the spectacle of Barratt taking a hacksaw and hammer to a guitar... a different kind of show.

Through it all the pair deliver a hugely enjoyable highly professional set of songs and lunacy...

A gig not to be missed... superb nights entertainment
