Some people say that The Oddsods is an institution. (Others say that we should be placed in one!)
Well this band is taking a step out of the limelight for a while. Two band members (Pete Willow and Richard 'Doc' Rider) are leaving to pursue other musical directions and Simon has a stack of day job commitments that are making it difficult for him to fit in public appearances. Paul and Mick also play for other bands. So now seems a good time to put the 'Sods on ice for a while.
Don't worry - this isn't the end of an era. We'll keep our website, MySpace page and this blog going and we'll let you know when the 'Sods are back in circulation with a new line-up but the same 'music for a rare old time' that has kept us busy for the last 15 years.
Thanks for all the support from Oddsods fans and the bookings from discerning venues from Cumbria to Cornwall.
The regular Denbigh Arms sessions will continue each the month in Monks Kirby, near Rugby although these have been renamed as 'The Denbigh Arms Sessions', led by Pete Willow and usually featuring Richard 'Doc' Rider, Bob Brooker and Ewan Cameron from Dark Island and singer-guitarist Colin Squire plus other talented musicians from across Warwickshire and Leicestershire. It's always a good night of music, starting at 8.30pm (admission free) - the next session is this Sunday, 20th July.
