I love this man. Im 44. Mum & Dad had beatles LPs, Ozzy, Sabbath, Queen, hundreds of 7 inch singles. Yet all we ever played on the record player as kids was Deep & Meaningless. Racing Cars Louisa on a Horse. Really Free (Kick me!) Cheryls coming home. What an album. What a man. I love this guy. Cannot wait to see him live in October!!!
This summer, in Keswick, Cumbria, there was a very earnest folk busker. He began singing The House Of The Rising Sun. My sons and I joined in with the requisite interjections, a la Otway. He didn't see the funny side.........We did though, and so did his girlfriend
Hi John seen you a few times but the best was when you played the Riley Smith Hall in Leeds Uni, sometime in the early 80's. Got the whole gig on tape. Brilliant.
The guy is an alround performer. I mind seeing him on the old grey whistle test in 78 with Wild Willy Barratt. John jumped on top of Willy's amp and nearly broke his neck when he fell off.
First time I saw him live I thought what the ***** when I heard this - but when you get it you realise he is a living legend. His autobiographies are a brilliant read too. He deserves to be Sir John Otway if there was justice.
John, ya have to come to macclesfield. I came to see you on ma honeymoon in 92 but i saw ya further back in 82 winchester with ya Wild Willy. ya wicked mate!

I had the rare delight of seeing John perform in Belfast many years ago, when, along with some of my friends, my life was changed forever.
I love this man.

The definitive Otway version of this song.
Give the man a TV show. What a God
And they give us Pop Idol on a Saturday night. Jesus wept.

What's the only thing a gambler needs. ??!! Brilliant.
Am pleased to say I have shared an evening on stage with John. What a nice bloke, and a Legend!

Try and catch him live - he's always on the road and always great fun!
Cheers

Too funny. Just when you think you can't bear to hear it one more time, a great version comes along. Great job, John!
'THAT'S TWO THINGS!' Marvellous.
I've only just got into Otway through the Mad, Bad and Dangerous Tour. All those wasted years!!
Otway always gets 5 stars. What a genius and what a survivor!
Wow fantastic performance and the amazing version of this song !
This was funny !
Bravo !

Yes I can hear the Queen say 'Arise Sir John... you prat'
I was one of the hecklers, a great show, a great performer
Awesome heckling.
Anyone else think the heckler who shouts “what’s the only thing a gambler needs” 1:10 sounds a bit like Chris Tarrant

John, ya have to come to macclesfield. I came to see you on ma honeymoon in 92 but i saw ya further back in 82 winchester with ya Wild Willy. ya wicked mate!

Like The Ledge. The Legendary Stardust Cowboy. John Otway is the Music Assasin. Genius. Where's his Yorkshire version of Space Oddity?
Excellent
It's funny a gig with no more than 40 in the audience should now have been seen by +30,000 people...
looks like a good night
Funny caricature!
Thanks Kris(Shred)!

Roeleke (oh I better don't write my name here! LOL)
They were showing the Rocky Horror last week.
Crazy!! lol
Oh joy. Don't tell anyone. let's keep him our special little secret.
When he sings he sounds like The Twang!! Strangly enough.
check out more of his stuff, you will laugh and laugh
;-}
How's he holding up the guitar? It looks like there's no strap.
@rabt1952 is medical help available for Ottoway fans?

I feel sorry for the 9 dislikes.
God help you! :)

1çıldırıyorum :)
I think you have some issues...
I guess that's a thumbs down then...
Why does a gambler need a fruitcake and a bun?
This is as funny as.....
British institution
I can’t listen to the straight/ conventional version ever again.
Amusing for about 20 seconds. By then, the joke is understood. So why continue?
