Thanks for all the incredible music you gave me Willy, with Otway, and your own virtuosity. I'm from Belfast, Northern Ireland, and listening to you two, and watching you on TOGWT was like a very bright light shining through the dark satanic obscenity that was happening to my small part of the UK. Your music made such a difference to me and others like me, over here, so I thank you, mate. I wish you rainbows.
Seen WWB many times a often with Otway. Their stage act never disappoints . Lots of fun and messing about. WWB's musicianship is seriously underrated. Go and witness for yourself.
WWB & JO never registered on most people's radar back then, they did mine, but sometimes I think genius has to be a niche thing, mass participation is for people like the Beatles, ABBA, Donny Osmond etc, you can't have your cake and eat it until the cake has gone mouldy and your teeth have fallen out,

Willie is a legend , I met him in the seventies I played bass on the tent tour and they were both just nice guys to work for
The famous tent tour - would love to hear more about all that, Alan.
They were a great team.😊
Fantastic interviewer!😂
I met Wild Willy in Portugal 🇵🇹
Some bloke I knew made some sort of thing to go on his car - I forget what it was…
