'Sods on the air...

The BBC blew the dust off their copy of our first album, Scoundrels and Scallywags and played some tracks on Keith Wedgebury's show on BBC Coventry and Warwickshire this week.

The CD featured the band's 1996 line-up of Simon, Pete and Paul with Michael Mahon on banjo. Wedge's Monday night show on Warwickshire folklore featured stories from across the county, interspersed by very early arrangements of Sam Hall, Belfast Mill , The World Turned Upside Down and Red Is The Rose.

If you read this within seven days of the broadcast, you can take a listen by clicking here and then on the Wedge's Warwickshire link.

The band is getting a lot of airplay right now. The previous weekend saw a live interview with Simon and Mick Shaler on the local Beeb station - and there's more to come!

Keith Wedgebury turned up in person for the Oddsods and Friends Denbigh Arms session this weekend and recorded quite a lot of the show, plus some interviews with members of the band and audience. If we get advance notice of any of the material going on air, we'll let you know.

There's an excellent chance that Keith Wedgebury will be broadcasting recordings of the last Denbigh Arms session on his show on BBC Cov and Warks next Monday (11th June) .. not just The Oddsods but other singers who were there that night.
