John Otway has several variations to his act - solo, as a duo with either Richard Holgarth or Wild Willy Barrett. He is also often backed by The Big Band, or, less frequently, by The Hit Machine.
There are a few pictures of Otway & Richard in action at the Rock ‘n’ Blues weekend in Skeggie in 2008.

After a gap of a few years, John Otway and The Big Band return to The Fleece in Bristol. It was a few year since I’d last been there, too, and it seemed bigger inside than I remembered it. A bizarre prelude to the evening was in the pub next door when everyone in there was singing along to ‘The Teddy Bears’ Picnic’ playing on the juke-box. (096: 25/9/2011)
Having made significant contributions to a couple of Otway’s Dunkerque trips, it was the turn of Sur Les Docks to join Otway and The Big Band in Putney’s newly refurbished Half Moon. (121: 25/11/2011)
