  • The Underground Story of the John Otway World Tour
    The Underground Story of the John Otway World Tour Some of the readers of my book 'Sex, Leadership and Rock'n'Roll have asked me: “How did I come to spend £50,000 of my life savings on cult punk rocker and two hit wonder John Otway's World Tour?” “What did John do with the money?” and “Is my wife still talking to me?” They are indeed good questions, so, I ve attempted to write down some of the more interesting parts of the story. It is indeed a 'comedy of errors' - a 'comedy' because some of the things that happened rightly deserve a place in 'This is Spinal Tap' and 'errors' because it is plain that failure was almost built-in to almost everyone I have described the full story to. However, hindsight is a great teacher and these factors only become plain as Otway revealed the true state of affairs, and once the money had long been spent. Ah well, life happens... It has certainly made me work a lot harder! ;-)) If you are not familiar with John Otway, a good digest exists at Wikipedia and there is some footage of a corporate performance I did with John at Pfizer and at Brands Hatch at ACADEMY TUBE. In brief: John Otway is a 50 something cult punk rocker, with two hits to his name across an amazing 30 year career in the music business. He was offered ten times more than The Jam in 1977 as an advance by Polydor Records, due to an apochryphal appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test, where John fell off an amplifier midway through his performance, injuring vital parts.
