About Us
John Otway is an English singer-songwriter who has built a sizeable cult audience through extensive touring, a surreal sense of humour and a self-deprecating underdog persona.
He first came to the attention of the British public in 1977 after a memorable appearance on BBC TV's Old Grey Whistle Test when a daring leap left him landing painfully astride his guitarists amplifier. followed the same year by A Hit Record Cor Baby That's Really Free.
And although he had to wait 25 years for another Hit record Bunsen Burner in 2002 his live shows enabled him to grow a large fan base. In 1998 he sold out the Royal Albert Hall and a grassroots campaign saw his song Beware of the Flowers Cause I'm Sure They're Going to Get You Yeah voted the seventh greatest lyric of all time in a BBC poll.
As well as his songwriting, his shows are noted for his self-depreciating style of humour which he employed in his Autobiography Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure and in his film Otway The Movie which is currently on Netflix.
He still currently tours and celebrated his 5,000th gig at the Shepherds Bush Empire in April 2022
