Chris Wood

Self-taught on guitar and violin, Chris’s independent streak shines through in his composition and studio work. Always direct and unafraid to speak his mind, his song writing has been praised for its clarity. His work is typified by his trust in the space music can create and a gift for lyrical understatement.

Throughout Chris’s career, independence has been balanced by collaboration. The artists he has worked with include Billy Bragg, Andy Gangadeen, Andy Cutting and Hugh Lupton. Most recently he has worked alongside Martin and Eliza Carthy and others in The Imagined Village. Cold Haily Rainy Night, performed by Wood and Eliza Carthy, took the prize for Best Traditional Song at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

“Wood is one of our finest songwriters, a brilliant exponent of the topical troubadour form, and rarely on better form than he is with None the Wiser. The title track alone is a masterpiece”. Andy Gill, Independent ★★★★★
