John Otway: Beware of the Flowers
"John's not being funny, he's just being silly," an exasperated teacher once told the class as the young Otway drank a bottle of ink.
There are times when you feel that teacher was on to something, but who can fail to like this?
Beware of the Flowers was the B-side of Otway's Really Free, which reached 27 in the UK singles chart in 1977.
This live version was recorded at Appletreewick, a remote village in Wharfdale, a couple of years ago.
I have left the chat on at the start because it is funny, not silly.
