SUMMARY:Chris Wood
DESCRIPTION:Love Thy Neighbour Presents Chris Wood\n\nTickets:  lovethynei
 ghbour.seetickets.com/event/chris-wood/lewes-con-club/3637017\n\nBar from 
 5:00pm. Doors 7:30pm - 11:00pm. Fully seated gig.\nChris Wood is an uncomp
 romising writer whose music reveals his love for the un-official history o
 f the English speaking people. With gentle intelligence he weaves the trad
 ition with his own contemporary parables. A self-taught musician\, compose
 r and song writer\, Chris is a lifelong autodidact whose independent strea
 k shines through everything he does. Always direct and unafraid to speak h
 is mind\, his song writing has been praised for its surgical clarity. He c
 ites his major influence as “Anon”.\nHis most recent album ‘So Much 
 to Defend’ has received wide critical acclaim and includes reflections o
 n minor league football\, empty nest syndrome\, learning to swim\, Cook-in
  Sauce and\, not least\, the Gecko as a metaphor for contemporary society.
  Hollow Point\; his chilling ballad of the shooting of Jean Charles Meneze
 z\, won a BBC Folk Award (he’s won six.) and emphatically secured Wood
 ’s place as a serious speech-master for the unofficial history of Englan
 d.\nCollaborators include Martin Carthy\, Dizraeli\, Billy Bragg\, Andy Cu
 tting\, Andy Irvine\, Karine Polwart\, Jean Francois Vrod\, The Imagined V
 illage\, Hugh Lupton\, Martin Butler and many others. On stage Chris has t
 he air of a craftsman who no longer needs to be precious about his art. Wi
 thout any apparent effort he reaches deep into an enviable repertoire of s
 ongs before revealing another gem. https://chriswoodfolkmusician.bandcamp.
