Otway's Cronies

Last Updated: Wednesday, 15th December, 1999

Over the years Otway has been accompanied by a great many people who could be described as "cronies" - from musical partners such as Wild Willy Barrett and Richard Holgarth, to mere roadies (though I think "mere" does a severe injustice to anyone who has had the misfortune to roadie for Otway) such as Lee Charteris. On this page I shall provide links to other pages about several of them - in no particular order, just depending on when I get enough information on them to make it worthwhile. Consequently you can help here by sending me your favourite photos of Otway & crony, or you and a roadie. Amusing stories about after show parties, or even in-show cock-ups are also welcomed.

So, without further ado, and in the words of Julie Andrews, "let's start at the very beginning, that's a very good place to start..."

Otway Online is maintained by Xav, who has gone through one or two cronies himself in his time. Cronies of particular note are Nick Wilson (the best friend a bloke could hope for - apart from the fact that he's never around when you need him) and Xan Eardley.

I'd also like to thank the academy, all the behind the scenes luvvies, Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh, Dougal from The Magic Roundabout and, of course, all the viewers, without which none of this would be possible, and you would all be looking at source code, like I have to! Of course, with so many people to thank, I'm bound to have missed someone - if so, mail me as:-
