For those of you who have been on the edge of your seat waiting for this next instalment, I can only apologise. For those of you who perhaps took a more pragmatic view of my ability to regularly produce refreshing and insightful commentary on all things O.W.T.O etc…, I salute your foresight.
Anyway, I hope you are about to see why I’ve been AWOL from my computer keyboard for a while, and at this point I must include a health warning….. You may need an extra packet of nibbles for this one, so sit back, take a slurp of your favourite beverage and enjoy.
Let’s get started……

- Releases their first single
Yes that right folks, we have finally shown our wares to the world with the single –
Our first single is out now and available on all the usual platforms.
There’s also a little something extra
It’s a song about the fact that we all have loved ones, but sometimes….they do get on your nerves!
There’s something for everyone in this track, and the early indications are that the good people of the world seem to agree with us, as we have had some very enthusiastic words from people across continents including , USA, Australia, Canada, UK, Italy, Germany, New Zealand, Portugal.
At the time of writing, alongside the airplay‘Don’t Push It’ is getting on several radio stations, rather than me telling you, I’ll let the responses speak for themselves. Here are some of the things those in the know, and across the globe, are saying………
“I could listen to your music all day! This is so good! It’s delightful…..your music is worth buying and it’s like suddenly nothing else is worth listening to,

And one of my favourites
It sounds good
These are just a few of the comments we have received, but on the face of it, it seems we are on the right track (see what I did there?).
We would like to say a huge thank you to the wise folks across the world and we look forward to hearing more from you as you hear more from us.

O.W.T.O
- Secures first No.1
After only a couple of months since the release of our new single, ‘Don’t Push It,’ it seems people like what they are hearing. At the time of writing this, you can see how many plays we’ve had on just one of the places where you can listen to us,
and secondly what all this means.
Yes that’s right, O.W.T.O. have secured their first number 1. Yay!
We know these are baby steps but really, our first single, a couple of months and a Number 1. We say – thank you to the wise folks of N1m.
O.W.T.O.
- Secures second No.1
There is a saying in England, “you wait ages for a bus and then two come along”. Well looky-here, here comes a second bus. Yes that’s right. Our second number 1. The good people of Portugal have continued to show their discerning tastes and we are number 1 for emerging artist in that Iberian paradise. Thank you Portugal. We look forward to the day when we are no longer considered emerging, but we’ll gladly accept that tag…for now!
O.W.T.O
- Live
We had another fantastic headlining night of G&Ts (Groove and Tunes) at the fabulous @inthespotlight hosted by Raquelle Gracie. A big thank you goes out to Raquelle for inviting us to close her original music platform.. We were delighted to bring the show home with the debut performance of a new vocalist we are working with – Katerina Kaifa. Katerina stole the show and you can see her and us with a simple click @owto.pt.
- Coming soon
You may recall we were in the depths of negotiations with a big name in American TV and film to secure his cinematic services for Don’t Push It. We got him.
Micheal Watson, award winning Director of Photography took on filming duties. Micheal’s career and CV speaks for itself and from his award winning work on the fantastic Fight Night (Kevin Hart, Samuel L. Jackson) his career just gets better and better because now he’s working with us!
We are looking forward to seeing the results of his work but for now, thank you Micheal and I am sorry I kept getting in the way of the shot!
- New music to be released soon
Studio sessions are almost complete and we are very close to releasing new music. It’s taken us a while and for that we apologise, but we want to make sure things are ‘just right’ for you.
There’s already ‘a little something extra’ out there already and we hope you are enjoying that.
The wait is almost over ……it will be worth it.
So now you’re all caught up
- A) I hope you have taken the hints.
- B) Of course you have.
- C) This means, after the obligatory ‘fidget’ in your favourite chair so you can find your sweet spot
You are now listening to O.W.T.O.
The bit you knew was coming…….
Guess who has tickets to the Super League Grand Final?
Guess who has tickets for The Ashes – Great Britain v Australia
Guess who is going to be celebrating the fact that:
A) Great Britain have beaten the Kangaroos
B) Sent them home with their tail between their legs
C) O.W.T.O will have more to say.
Small Print
Guess which one is guaranteed.
And Finally……..
And Finally finally………
And (I think you get the drift!)
The last word……
I hope to be able to give others a voice with these ramblings and with that in mind, if you want to contribute then please do. Drop me a line and let’s see what you want to talk about.
I am pleased to say you’ll soon be hearing about Bangkok Reggae Massive. These guys are all you think they might be, and just that little bit more!
The producer, a previous bandmate of mine, Alex Spall is now based in Thailand. Alex has been the guitar brain and fingers behind some of my past releases and his latest musical project has a new EP.
He’ll be telling you all about it soon.
One last fidget to find the secret sweet spot only you know about and……
