About UK Guitarist Nick Wood
Born and raised in the Medway Towns in Kent, Nick was into music from the age of 8 after hearing bands like The Sweet, Mud, Wizard and The Rubettes on Top Of The Pops! Enjoying the glam antics of bass player Steve Priest, he set about converting an old acoustic guitar into a bass guitar (by removing the top two strings and adding a silver painted piece of wood to look like a pickup!).
Testimonials
-
I was looking on the internet for a recording studio to record a few songs for my band. Nicks studio was one of the first ones that came up. Not only is he very good at the technical side of recording but he makes you feel at ease as well. Invaluable!
From there he developed himself on the guitar, learning by listening to such players as Beck, Clapton, Lifeson, Fripp and then later Vai and Zappa! Nick is totally self taught and has played the kent and London circuit in various bands for 25 years enjoying a 10 year stint with one of Kent's most popular band The Rainkings. Also developing an interest in the art of sound recording early in his career he set about building a recording studio in kent, initially to record his own music but then after as a business venture.
Nick Wood currently plays guitar with popular kent covers trio The Fecks and plays bass guitar with classic rock band Headlong. He also runs Broadwood Music Productions - Recording Studio, teaches guitar and enjoys web design and development.

Moon
Introducing Nick Wood's forthcoming guitar instrumental album entitledMoon. The album encompasses a wide range of styles, feelings and emotions and as such some of the songs are intended for television/media audience. The album is in it's early stages of development and nick hopes to release Moon on his own record label. 
The album features some top rate musicians and once completed nick is hoping to enlist the expertise and help from one of the UK's most prolific mixing engineers to mix the album.
The photo montage on the left is taken from a stock photo source and, although not used for the final, will serve as a starting point for the concept of the cover artwork.
Being a solely independant artist/composer is a daunting, time consuming task so please support Nick's progress by pre-ordering the album via the Broadwood Music Productions Online Shop. The album will be on general sale for £9.99 but by pre-ordering and helping Nick to finance this project you can secure your copy at only £7.99.
