UK legend, Otway, recently celebrated his 5000th gig, received an Oxford University Doctorate, has played the London Palladium, Albert Hall, had two top ten hits, and his critically acclaimed movie played Cannes. In short, a comic and music ‘Maverick’. John's support act is award-winning Kevin Short, madcap raconteur and songster. 2 Brilliant Brits for the price of 1. Plus, you take a little boat ride on the river, courtesy of Popeye River Cruises. ‘’It’s not just a show of John's musical hits, it’s circus, he is part-acrobat, part magician and a superb story-teller to boot’’ International Times. Kevin, in support, is an award-winning writer/poet/songwriter/actor with critically acclaimed appearances at the Royal National Theatre and in London's West End. Together, they are a dynamite duo.
