“Bob Wood is one of the deftest
pickers and tastiest arrangers of songs it has been my pleasure to
hear...a real delight!”
~
STEVE TILSTON
“ Many times over the years, I have had the immense pleasure of just
sittin' around, pickin' and grinnin' at home, playing on stage and
recording in the studio with Bob Wood.
His outstanding guitar and vocal skills, combined with the
sensitivity and empathy he brings to the music, makes him the
consummate compadre on stage, a great interpreter of songs and a
very fine solo artist in his own right. If I should ever write a
song that I never get the chance to perform, Bob Wood is the man for
the job”

Bob Wood has a distinctive approach to the role
of Scots balladeer, with a fine ear for songs old and new, a deft
way with a guitar and a voice of freshness and mellowness combined.
The mature listener will take to him, and younger listeners will be
enchanted. ~ JEZ LOWE
An artiste with
an eclectic and entertaining repertoire of song which he accompanies
with an innovative and always sympathetic guitar style. ~ ARCHIE
FISHER
Bob Wood is one of the best kept secrets in the folk circuit. His
singing is superb but, if anything, his voice is overshadowed by a
beautifully sympathetic guitar accompaniment to rival any of his
peers. His first album is one of my "most played" over the years and
that is a fact; surely the greatest reflection of genuine musical
appreciation.
~ IAN McCALMAN
“Premier singer and fantastic guitarist with a huge repertoire of
songs. Bob is passionate about his music, loves people and never
fails to give a great evening’s entertainment. A consummate
professional”.
