It is a treat of past and current favourites from one of the most popular musicians on the acoustic circuit. Special guest award-winning folk singer/songwriter 'Odette Michell' will join Phil. Odette Michell is an award-winning British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a rich foothold in the folk tradition. based between Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire, Odette was born in Yorkshire with an Irish heritage, and first picked up the guitar aged fifteen. Inspired by the resurgence of folk and acoustic songwriters at the time, she began writing her own songs when she was just sixteen years old. Growing up in the vibrant city of Cambridge allowed Odette to take advantage of the many stages and performance venues there, including two early club stage appearances at the Cambridge Folk Festival - her first appearance there being when she was just 22 years old.
