This is HODMADODDERY’s website. There’s really very little that you really need to know about us, and it’s probably not anything we could express on these pages.

If however you persist in pursuing various bits of fairly random & trivial information, of varying degrees of usefulness, that’s what the www is full of, so why not this bit too? Oh the technology, genius, resources that are expended in something so unimportant. Oh well.

From the links on the menu you can find out whether we’re playing at any time in the near future (we’re lazy so’n’sos) or if there’s other news, whether you really have succeeded in escaping any of our multifarious recorded output, indeed what we sound like to start with if you really don’t already know, what we look like (now and back then), some places and people from Doddery legend, some useful information if you want to book us for a gig or a festival, and the full unexpurgated story, from the days of unlimited free cider and tickling battles, through Comfylux, Pearce, Darch, Wilcox and Maiden Newton, all the way to the fine upstanding gentlemen we are today.

We first did one of these website things back in 2007 when we worked out that we’d been playing as a duo for 21 YEARS (or as near as we could work it out). This new site [2026] isn’t really much different, just a bit updated, and maybe better-looking. Just like us, of course. Be kind… AND NOW WE’RE FORTY!

Steve wrote and sort-of-designed this one by demanding various things he couldn’t do himself, on an editor that he’s really not got the hang of yet, clicking things at random, etc. Lollo did all the difficult stuff and the real work, tho’ we did manage to confuse an AI sufficiently [and definitely not the other way round] that this is all the work of human beans.
