John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett

Community Centre · Cromer

During an October 1977 appearance on the BBC's The Old Grey Whistle Test, singer John Otway leaped across the stage, missed his footing, and fell off a stack of amplifiers directly onto his crotch. The Song: Otway and his musical partner, Wild Willy Barrett, were performing their single "Really Free" live on national television. The Fall: During a burst of manic energy, Otway tried a dangerous stage leap, crashed down into the equipment stack, and absorbed the entire impact of the fall with his most sensitive body parts. The Reaction: Wild Willy Barrett famously continued playing the guitar without even turning around to check on his injured bandmate Millions of viewers watched the painful accident live. Chart Success: The hilarious and chaotic moment turned into free publicity, helping push their single "Really Free" into the UK charts. A Long Career: Otway embraced his status as a comical underdog and built a massive, loyal cult following that lasts to this day.
