Chris Wood is an uncompromising writer whose music reveals his love for the unofficial history of the English speaking people. With gentle intelligence he weaves the tradition with his own contemporary parables. A self-taught musician, composer and song writer, Chris’ latest album So Much to Defend, includes reflections on minor league football, empty nest syndrome, learning to swim, cook-in sauce and, not least, the gecko as a metaphor for contemporary society.

Chris is supported by Scottish duo Twelfth Day, AKA Catriona Price and Esther Swift, whose new album Cracks In The Room has been produced by Chris Wood and mixed by legendary engineer Oz Fritz.
