Guy Oddy
Bio
Guy has been a regular New Music album and gig (and very occasionally Film and Theatre) reviewer for theartsdesk since 2013. He is also works as the Development Officer at B:Music, raising money for community, education and capital projects at Birmingham's Town Hall and Symphony Hall. Guy first had a music review published while he was a student at Manchester Polytechnic, when Spacemen 3 visited the Hacienda in 1989 to lay down their trippy psychedelia for an appreciative but not especially large audience. Since then, he has written for a number of publications (some of which have long-since disappeared), including Pulp, Beat Mag and the i newspaper.
