Half Moon presents: The John Otway Band

The Half Moon, SW15 1EU , [Venue Details]

Join us for a Spring celebration with John Otway!

From the age of 9, John Otway knew he wanted to be a pop star. But even at that young age, having listened to his sister's Beatles and Stones records, he knew he would never be able to do what they do.

However, when his sister got the latest Bob Dylan album, he knew there was a place for him and he set about learning how to play guitar.

"He’s a cabaret act masquerading as a rock act. He is gleeful, anecdotal, funny and life-enhancing" (Canterbury Fayre Review)

John first achieved notoriety with his eye-watering performance on Old Grey Whistle Test and subsequent hit single 'Really Free' in 1977. A heady mix of blind ambition and rank incompetence was to keep this microstar shining for almost two decades despite Otway's ability to turn any situation to his own disadvantage.
