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.
