 le eye for trivia\, like it was a bad thing.”\nReflections on minor leag
 ue football\, empty nest syndrome\, learning to swim\, Cook-in Sauce and o
 f course\, the Gecko as a metaphor for contemporary society! Tom Robinson 
 and Chris Difford are fans while Stick In The Wheel and The Unthanks look 
 to him as an influence. In a world of soundbites and distractions Chris Wo
 od is a truth seeker. His writing is permeated with love and wry intellige
 nce\, uplifting and challenging as he celebrates the sheer one-thing-after
 -anotherness of life.\nWinner of 6 BBC Folk Awards\, he’s played with Th
 e Royal Shakespeare Company and was a key member of The Imagined Village a
 long with Billy Bragg\,Martin and Eliza Carthy. A wise and soulful craftsm
 an\, his concerts are a cliche free zone.\nChris Wood is an uncompromising
  writer whose music reveals his love for the un-official history of the En
 glish speaking people. With gentle intelligence he weaves the tradition wi
 th his own contemporary parables.\nA self-taught musician\, composer and s
 ong writer\, Chris is a lifelong autodidact whose independent streak shine
 s through everything he does. Always direct and unafraid to speak his mind
 \, his song writing has been praised for its surgical clarity. He cites hi
 s major influence as “Anon”.\nHis most recent album ‘So Much to Defe
 nd’ has received wide critical acclaim and 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.\nColla
 borators include Martin Carthy\, Dizraeli\, Billy Bragg\, Andy Cutting\, A
 ndy Irvine\, Karine Polwart\, Jean Francois Vrod\, The Imagined Village\, 
 Hugh Lupton\, Martin Butler and many others. On stage Chris has the air of
  a craftsman whono longer needs to be precious about his art. Without any 
 apparent effort he reaches deep into an enviable repertoire of songs befor
 e revealing another gem.\nhttp://chriswoodmusic.co.uk
