Paul Oswald - (Ozzie)

Paul is from the Sydney suburb of Hornsby and from a young age he found a love of music.  Paul also found a guitar at an early age and started to carve out his unique and very original melodies. Paul excels as a producer and his knowledge of bands, drummers, guitarists and general music is always cool to have around at trivia nights.

The highlights of Paul's career in music have been to play along side of Sydney's most notable musicians such as the Hartle strings and members of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra whilst he might say his acoustic dates with Howie have been exploratory these moments have been incredible in the discovery of the potential the pair have experienced. Other highlights have been played at many Sydney pubs and also the Enmore theatre.

Paul is a consummate composer and lyricist having collaborated on many of Howie's songs and also providing the material in full. He has certainly been creative in his approach to the Skutch music as the second founding member.

Patricia Howard - (Patience)

Patricia was born in Trieste, Italy and from an early age she was exposed to classical music from her Father, who was classically trained in the arts, formally in Italy. In Australia from the age of four she remembers her Father's strong tenor vocals in preparation for the many entertaining venues he frequented. Mario Martini was said to be the Australian Caruso. Patricia learned music on the piano but her skills are in Directing and Production, having the talent to co-ordinate and arrange events secular to the music business.

Patricia met Ozzie and Howie in 2000 and has been a fan of the music ever since.
