The pair first achieved notoriety with an eye watering performance on ‘Old Grey Whistle Test’ and subsequent hit single `Really Free` in 1977. The two soon went their separate ways but still perform together occasionally. Otway’s heady mix of blind ambition and rank incompetence was to keep this microstar shining for almost two decades despite his ability to turn any situation to his own disadvantage. His autobiography `Rock and Roll’s Greatest Failure` out sold, by a factor of ten, all the records he had released since his hit.

Otway’s finest moment came in 2002. Asked what he wanted for his 50th birthday, he requested `a second hit`. The track, `Bunsen Burner`, with music sampled from The Trammps’ classic `Disco Inferno` and lyrics devised to help his daughter with her chemistry homework, reached the UK Number 9 and earned him an appearance on `Top of the Pops`, BBC Television’s flagship popular music programme.

Wild Willy Barrett is one of the most accomplished multi-instrumentalists working today, playing acoustic classical guitar with an original style and virtuosity few can match. His humour on stage is dry.

Following another very successful Edinburgh Festival residency, John and Willy are now on a nationwide tour. Don’t miss this rare chance to see them together!

Tiny Tin Lady have been together since 2004 and, in just four years, have become the most talked about band on the acoustic music scene, stunning audiences everywhere with their blend of brilliant, original songs, superb musicianship and spine-tingling harmonies.

Originally from St Helens, this nu-acoustic four piece have already played the likes of Glastonbury, Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, Trowbridge, the Big Session, Wickerman and Beautiful Days, to name a few.
Self-described as “indie celery with a side of hummus” or perhaps more aptly “acoustic harmonic folk rock” Tiny Tin Lady, have toured with Midge Ure, Jah Wobble and the English Roots Band and last spring provided outstanding support for Fairport Convention’s 40th Anniversary UK tour.
