Phil 'Swill' Odgers & Bobby Valentino
From The Men They Couldn't Hang

PHIL ODGERS
Founder member and vocal strike force of the inimitable The Men They Couldn’t Hang, Phil “Swill” Odgers is a well-loved and prolific solo artist in his own right. Audiences around the world from Cairo to Reykjavik, Brisbane to Tokyo, and Berlin to London have succumbed to his effervescent and heartfelt vocal style.
A fine acoustic guitarist, singer and songwriter, with far-reaching influences ranging from his Scottish/Irish roots, through 50’s/60’s rock ‘n’ roll, punk, folk and country. Phil Odgers is a sorely undervalued national treasure whose solo albums hit high in the Folk and Roots charts both here and in the US. 
During Covid-lockdown, Odgers was one of the pioneers in weekly regular video broadcasts. Playing live under the banner of ‘SWILL’S SUNDAY SESSION’ he gathered viewers across the globe.
His live gigs are uniquely special and every gig in every venue since those lockdown broadcasts has sold out.
Phil is joined on stage at this show by…

BOBBY VALENTINO
The man who co-wrote and played violin on The Bluebells ‘Young at Heart’, Bobby has played on records by Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, The Alabama 3 and Paul Weller to name but a few. He has also contributed to many recordings by The Men They Couldn’t Hang as well as frequently appearing with them on stage.
Bobby’s vocal talents are demonstrated on his solo albums ‘This is Murder’ and ‘Pat-a-Cake, Pat-a-Cake’ both of which will be on sale on the night.
Phil ‘Swill’ Odgers and Bobby Valentino – what a combination!!
