Well, if you're heading to Cannes for Midem next week and the networking / drinking / tedious copyright chatter gets too much, here's an event that should provide some light relief. John Otway, the two hit wonder behind 2002's 'Bunsen Burner', whose autobiography was subtitled "Rock and Roll's greatest failure", will be retelling his somewhat unique experiences of the music business ever since his disastrous five album deal with Polydor Records back in the late seventies. The press release says "refreshments will be served (you will need a drink)", which possibly says it all. It takes place at the Palais Des Festivals in Cannes at 6pm on 24 Jan.
