Singer of the Year and Best Album, BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2009, Chris Wood is an uncompromising songwriter 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. His writing has been said to share the same timeless quality as Richard Thompson at his best.

‘The finest and most original singer-songwriter to have emerged from the British folk scene since Richard Thompson.' Guardian
