John Otway and Wild Willy Barratt

I have been a fan of John Otway for many years, and seen him live maybe in excess of 100 times.

John Otway started his career with Wild Willy Barratt but after 2 albums they had a big falling out when John released a solo record without telling Willy.
They didn't speak for 14 years, but every now and again they get together and do a little tour and they are absolutely brilliant together.
It's a show that has to be seen to be believed. Its music and comedy.
The music is great, but the comedy and chemistry between them is brilliant.

Otway and Barratt had only the one 'Hit' (well it got to No 29) which was 'Really Free'.
Here they are performing it a few years ago
