- Phil Oddie
Profile
Hi. My name is Phil Oddie and I am a University graduate based in Lancashire. I believe music to be mans greatest creation and I hold it dear in my heart. Whether its jamming with my mates, writing music, writing about music, listening, watching shows, going to festivals or just chilling with some records, the range of feelings and the passion that music can create is just intense. Im a punk at heart but I really will listen to anything and have a huge collection spanning many eras and genres. My philosophy - Go to as many gigs as you can! Simples!
