LineUp

Wild Willy Barrett, born Roger John Barrett in Aylesbury, England, is an experimental multi-instrumentalist, dubbed the "godfather of grunge folk." Known for virtuoso fiddle and guitar, he blends folk, blues, psychedelia, pop, and punk. His distinctive style includes playing slide guitar with an egg and using a 'wah wah wheelie bin.' He achieved a UK Top 30 hit with John Otway, "(Cor Baby That's) Really Free," and collaborated with artists like Squeeze and Madness.
British rock eccentric John Otway launched his career with frenzied live shows and the single Cor Baby That's Really Free. Signed by Polydor, his 1977 self-titled debut was produced by Pete Townshend. Otway also co-wrote a play, starred in commercials, and wrote an autobiography.
