Civic Theatre Dec 07 supporting Michele Ann Kelly

The Civic is an excellent venue for an intimate rock gig, with a clear sound and a sense that no matter where you sit you can still nearly check the artist’s heartbeat. ODi kicked off with a rendition of ‘Don’t Let Me Fall’ and ‘A Superman’ that captivated the audience immediately. Claire Odlum’s voice seems to have been magically liberated and an upsurge in gigs in Ireland and England have brought an added confidence. She has a natural onstage persona, possibly the woman with least attitude on the current scene. Her next single ‘What You Deserve’ followed, a haunting song with a simple but infectious guitar riff supplied by her guitar and harmonica-wielding sidekick Dave Redfearn. ‘You Win But You Lose’, a perfect anthem for fans of Leeds United is lighter, and they finished with the fine ‘Mariposa’. A short, tight and effective set, put across with grace and easy passion, Odi are moving in the right direction.

Norwich Arts Centre (23/06/07)

An Irish female singer/guitar player, joined by Dave Redfearn on guitar and harmonica. Her voice covers a large range and has a powerful but haunting quality, a wonderful mix of gentle Irish tinged vocals with energetic choruses that gets inside of you and draws you in. She dedicated a track called ‘A Superman’ to Craig AKA ‘The Tilting Sky’ for all the effort that he puts into helping artists and bands get heard, which caused cheers from the audience. She sung it smiling across the room, glad to be able to have a way to say thanks, and enjoying every moment of her set. Dave, never really ever stood still, always little bobbing, tapping to the beat, joining in with Odi, the harmonies between these two were wonderful, in perfect time and complemented each other well bringing an added depth to the song. As the song got towards the end it built up, becoming faster, more emotional, and intense, to die back down to a softer finish.

She has been described as being like Suzanne Vega and I would have to agree, she has the diversity in her music to be compared to her and the likes of Sheryl Crowe…………www.unitedmoshers.com
