Since I started going to the Fringe Rich
Hall and his alter ego Otis Lee Crenshaw have been round and about,
we even got on nodding terms, it seems strange then that it has
taken me 14 years to actually go and see Otis Lee perform. Part of
the reason was probably Otis Lee is not usually at every Fringe.
However this year I finally went to see him
and had a superb time. Otis Lee has two other band members on stage
with him and the music is predominantly country all be it ex-gaol
rock and modern improvedy. The musical talents of all three band
members are superb and most of the lyrics hilarious. Although Mr
Crenshaw comes over as being a hard man there were times you just
wanted to give him a hug.
I’m hoping both Otis Lee Crenshaw and
Rich Hall are back at the Fringe next year and that I get the chance
to see them both.
