For
nearly fifteen years, various line-ups of the Warwickshire
folk band, The Oddsods have been
delighting audiences of all ages with their special high-energy
renditions of mainly Irish (and some Scottish and English)
traditional songs and tunes.
You can never accuse ‘The
Odd Sods’ of taking themselves too seriously.
Whether
they’re playing concert or pub sessions, their mission
in life is to have a good time and to make sure their audience
does as well.
They have been very popular at every appearance
at the club and what better band to say “hello” to
a brand new year.
It could be described as Celtic mayhem!!
The current incarnation features founder member
SIMON STREET who sings and plays melodeon, bodhran and harmonica,
while
veteran Oddsods, PETE WILLOW sings and plays rhythm and
lead guitars and PAUL KENNY sings and plays tenor and 5-string
banjos, guitar, mandolin and bodhran.
RICHARD 'DOC' RIDER
contributes
vocals, guitar, whistles and that most traditional of
Irish instruments - the euphonium!
Meanwhile, newest band member,
MICK SHALER keeps everyone on their toes with some
drivin', hard-rockin' electric fiddle. |
