Hi everybody!
Nette and I are off soon to the Isle of Man to do a gig for our good friends Rolf and Silke.
We hope you all have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you at our gigs in the Autumn: the Tony Woods Project is doing a gig on the 1st September at the Oval Tavern in Croydon, 1.00pm start. We’ll be playing tunes from our up coming release “Into the Ether”, as well as old favourites from our previous four albums… Here is a clip of the Tony Woods Project playing one of my newest compositions “Ethereal”, kindly filmed for us by Will Hann. If you enjoy our music please do subscribe to my YouTube Channel.

Chippings From The Woods Shed:
Not sure how to get started? Sometimes playing a long note can settle you down and get your ear attuned to your instrument. Practise starting phrases with a long note, followed by movement. Then the other way round- movement followed by a long note. It’s a bit like leaving space – slows everything down for a moment…
