Subject: RE: John Otway & Wild Willy B Sevenoaks 4/09
Just a fantastic evening of joy and laughter!

I need a visit to A & E to stitch up my sides...they split!

As a duo they're far more than the sum of the parts. Willy's deadpan delivery and beautiful timing act as a brilliant counterweight to John's manic lunacy. And on top of that, I hadn't realised what a consummate musician he is.

He played:

- guitar
- slide guitar
- fiddle
- banjo
- balalaika
- home-made something that looked a bit like a dulcimer
- strumstick
- bagpipes

He didn't play enough pipes to form an idea of how good he is on them, but on everything else he played he showed a high skill level. All while sardonically taking the piss out of Otway!

Nice one Keith and all at Brandywine.
