Hi,
 
Happy new year from The Wizard of OT.
 
It's going to be a fascinating journey this year, seeing what festivals we can do, what silver screens we can be projected upon and what awards we can be nominated for. 

 
New Website

 
Deadly the Roadie has now been working with me for several years, during which time he has become more and more embarrassed by the state of my web site.
 
On many occasions he has pointed out that "This is not a site befitting a Pop Star" and more recently has been heard to say "Well if I was movie star with Oscar Aspirations the first thing I would do is take a good look at my HTML".
 
He finally took the matter into his own hands and proceeded to do the unthinkable: designed a site himself - free of charge.
 
His craftsmanship can now be viewed at - and considering that it was made by a Roadie without resorting to the use of gaffa tape or pulling into a motorway service station, I think it's quite remarkable.


 
 
Otway & Barrett Tour 2013
 
Before we embark on the long road to the Oscar nominations there's an exciting short tour with Wild Willy Barrett, including a re-visit to Leicester Square Theatre for the main London date - it's a great place to play that will bring back some wonderful memories.

 
 
Otway the Movie: The Road to the Oscars


 
In a brave, and some would say foolhardy or ot -way, we aim to take Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure: Otway the Movie to a number of international film festivals with a Bafta and Oscar launch at Cannes Film festival in May.
 
A significant number of people have expressed an interest in helping us make a splash on the Riviera for the The Cannes Film festival is in May and we are thinking up ways to take the band down to do a show as well as getting the Movie screened - Details and dates very shortly - but pop a pencil in your diaries for the weekend of 18th / 19th if you think you might fancy joining us.
 

 
 
Dunkerque 2013
 
Are you interested in a Dunkerque trip this year? - Richard Cotton is looking into the feasibility of a 2013 trip for the weekend of 23rd November. We did not cross the Channel  last year because of the movie celebrations -  but come November, I was surprised at how much I missed the taste of Beaujolais Nouveau. You can request info packs from:

Hope to see you at a gig soon. 


Cheers,


John Otway
