John Otway at the Betsey? Oh yes!

“Rock and Roll’s greatest failure” returns to the Betsey - for one night (well, afternoon) only.

Arriving on the back of punk in 1977 and helped by an ill-balanced gymnastic performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test, his first single”Cor Baby That’s Really Free” managed to reach number 27 in the UK Charts. Going on to develop an increasingly unhinged career, building a cult following along the way, 2002 saw him finally become a 2 HIT WONDER when “Bunsen Burner” - a song written to help his daughter with her chemistry homework - scored a top 10 hit and saw Otway running amok on Top of The Pop. Expect ill-judged on-stage acrobatics, theramins and the stupidity of a great genius.

We are absolutely delighted to be hosting this upstairs at the Betsey on 24th July:

My Little Underground, Ventil and Tapete Records present: Smashing Time – A tribute to the Television Personalities

An evening to celebrate the songwriting genius of Daniel Treacy and the TV-Personalities - both in word and sound.
The evening will start with a Q&A session on Dan Treacy, TVPs and the just released lyrics book „If I Could Write Poetry“ (published by Ventil). Hosted by Travis Elborough, the panel will hold ex-TVPs members Jowe Head and Dave Musker, Dan’s music therapist Melissa Heathcote and book editor Gregor Kessler.
The talk will be followed by a full set of TV-Personalities songs from all periods performed by a band consisiting of former band-mates Jeff Bloom, Dave Musker, Mike Stone, Lee McFadden and Jowe Head. They will be joined on stage by various singers performing their favorite TVPs songs.
There’ll be an after-show party fully dedicated to the TVPs.
