 Wednesday
22nd March - The John Otway Lecture
with very special guests: Dominic Collins + Eliza P . £5
A
brand new show comes to Glossop - remember where and when you saw if first!
A very special
and privileged night for the Globe. At the time of writing, this show
has yet to be seen by the Great British Public. A hilarious lecture by
John Otway teaching us how to be a successful failure. Not
the normal Otway show, tonight will be hugely enjoyable and at a bargain
price of just £5, it’s a night not to
be missed.
"His
autobiography (subtitled "Rock and Roll's greatest failure")
was a study in self-deprecation, and his touring continued to sustain
him. By 1993 he could draw 2,500 fans to a gig in London, and in 1998
an audience of 4,000 celebrated his birthday with him at the Royal Albert
Hall"
"Asked
what he wanted for his 50th birthday, he requested "A second hit",
and a concerted drive, including a poll, scrutinised by the Electoral
Reform Society, to select the track, saw "Bunsen Burner" - with
music sampled from the classic "Disco Inferno" and lyrics devised
to help his daughter with her chemistry homework - reach the UK no.9 on
October 6, and earned Otway an appearance on Top Of The Pops, the BBC's
flagship popular music program."
"Thanks
to this second hit he has now been able to release his Greatest Hits album
(note the s, he's very proud of it). To encourage fans to buy more than
one copy each of the single, he released three different versions. The
flip side of "Bunsen Burner - The Hit Mix" was a cover of "The
House of the Rising Sun" recorded at Abbey Road and featured 900
of his fans on backing vocals, each of whom was credited by name on the
single's sleeve."

is a Manchester born comedy songwriter is taking the Northwest folk &
comedy scene by storm, Dominic’s original songs of his childhood
and upbringing in the Ancoats area of the city not only strike a nostalgic
chord but also have his audiences in stitches. Comedian Dave Spikey said

“And
then came along Dominic Collins, and it was like a breath of fresh air”.

Local lass
Eliza P kicks the night off with her irreverent take on life through her
songs and light hearted banter. It will be great to see Eliza back on
the stage at the Globe.
