Award-Winning Chris Wood comes to Spring Bank Arts!

Home / News / Artists / Award-Winning Chris Wood comes to Spring Bank Arts!

You’ll not want to miss our headlining act for the New Mills Festival, award-winning Chris Wood needs little introduction, winner of 6 BBC Folk Awards, he’s played with The Royal Shakespeare Company and was a key member of The Imagined Village along with Billy Bragg, Martin and Eliza Carthy. A wise and soulful craftsman, his concerts are a cliché-free zone.

On stage Chris has the air of a craftsman who no longer needs to be precious about his art. Without any apparent effort he reaches deep into an enviable repertoire of songs before revealing another gem. His writing is permeated with love and wry intelligence, uplifting and challenging as he celebrates the sheer one-thing-after-anotherness of life.

You don’t have to be a folk fan to love his performance, his technical skill and stellar song writing will blow you away.

Tickets £17.50 available from Spring Bank Arts Mon to Fri 9:30-12:30 on 01663 308202, on the door and online.
