View allAbout This Event
John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett will be performing at this festive season's Christmas Bash, taking place on December 8th at the Arts Centre in Colchester. The evening promises to be a hit with audiences seeking seasonal entertainment.
John Otway, (born October 2, 1952, in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom) is a self-confessed unsuccessful singer songwriter, who built a large cult audience through unrelenting touring, a surreal sense of humour and a winning underdog personality. Although his first single, Gypsy/Misty Mountain was released in 1972, Otway shot to fame on the back of punk rock and a gymnastic performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test. His sixth single, the half-spoken love song Really Free reached number 27 in the UK Singles Chart in 1977.
