Oddities’, which is now co-led by Nicola Oddy and Jack Hurd, began as a church folk choir at St. Pauls United Church in Perth in 1993, and has since expanded to become a community group with nearly 50 members.  The name is derived from the name of the leader, Nicola Oddy, but also reflects their selection of music, and their musical arrangements.  The arrangements originated by listening and learning to create their own harmonies, and, although they continue creating harmonies for some of their repertoire, they now primarily work with the written score. Their selection of music is an eclectic mix of gospel, folk, spiritual, pop and traditional.  

In Song,
Nicola
