John Otway to play Bromsgrove Artrix

Singer, songwriter and comedian John Otway first achieved notoriety with his eye-watering performance on Old Grey Whistle Test.

Otway, ever the showman, decided to jump on to the amplifier of his colleague during a performance of Bob Lind's Cheryl's Going Home.

Unfortunately for Otway, he misjudged his leap and sent Wild Willy Barrett's amplifier tumbling as he crashed down straddling the box under the amp.

Even in the days before Twitter, the buzz around his performance eclipsed every other performance on the show. Now, fans will hopefully get to see such antics when he rocks up at Bromsgrove's Artrix Theatre on February 4, at 8pm.

Tickets costing £15 are available from www.artrix.co.uk or 01527 577330.
