About this event
John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett will be back at St Ives Theatre for the opening night of the 2021 St Ives September Festival on Saturday, September 11.
More than 40 years after first appearing on The Old Grey Whistle Test, Otway and Barrett are still tearing it up and smashing instruments with their own brand of punk meets folk mayhem.
Still loved for their total in-yer-face originality, the contrast between the dead pan humour of Barrett and mad onstage antics of Otway are hilarious to watch.
John’s lyrical genius and Willy’s outstanding musicianship (he seems to play almost every stringed instrument known to man, plus a few hybrids of his own making!) almost become an added extra.
For any Otway/Barrett virgins out there who don’t know what to expect, be prepared for everything from bare-chested theremin playing to wah wah wheelie bin as the duo jump from one hit and 40 near misses to another.
An amazing and irreverent performance by two master entertainers.
