Biografía
.."There are two kinds of bass players in this world; plonkers and slappers. Which one are you boy?".... I was born and raised in Bolton in played bass and guitar since I was about 16. I managed to stay a true northerner for many years, living (and playing) in Bolton, Manchester and then Liverpool, but in 1994 I finally sold out and moved south to Cambridge. .. I've played in a number of bands, but the most recent was the Cambridge blues band ..Bluesbarn.. and before that ..2-Sheds Jackson.. (again in Cambridge). Another project with a small piece of cyberspace are ..The Bogus Asylum Seekers.. (basically some friends from school days who get together with a random name to play random gigs for random parties in random parts of the country with a variable lineup and minimal rehearsal, but somehow get away with it). .. Currently I'm investigating the possibilities for a new musical project to get me out of the house occasionally. .. I've added some recordings that I played on, trying to put up stuff you won't find on any of my old band web sites. The tracks were all recorded at rehearsals of my old band ..Bluesbarn... I just chucked a few mikes/DI cables around and pressed record on a mini-disc player. The quality is not brilliant and there are a few mistakes, but it is live and it is unedited. Besides you can always visit the ..Bluesbarn myspace page.. for more polished stuff...The tracks are:.. ..Crossroads.. - A chance for me to mess around and improvise a lot. ..Telephone Song.. - Very different from the version we originally recorded... ..Cut you Loose.. - Sometimes less is more... ..Little Wing.. - Our take on a classic Hendrix track. .. Came across a recording taken off the mixing desk of ..2-Sheds Jackson..'s last ever gig. I've added the last song from that gig as it was just such fun. Good memories! -

Dear Constituent:
Please be informed that G. Wood/Undercover Bonobos have posted a new song entitled "Seeds" on their Myspace music player. We strongly advise that you review this material carefully. Your commentary is welcomed.
Analysis: We have been informed that this song sounds like a Communist Collective work song. We are further advised that it may be misconstrued as a treatise on the cultivation of illegal herbage. We are cautioned that some listeners may experience a shift in psychological set and setting during the "psychedelic" interlude. Please report any activity of this nature forthwith.
This song may be intended and interpreted as a tribute to the late, great, Sky Saxon.
We gratefully anticipate your thoughts on this matter.
-G. Wood & associates
Cheers Calvin
Hope to seeya soon

Hey Cal, still rockin'...
Dear 'Spacefriends,
If you're not all sick to death of my shameless regression into post-adolescent angst and trashpop jangle, you may have a slight interest in the two new songs I've just uppered to my page. As always, your comments gracefully accepted. Thank you for your indulgence.
Cheers then!

Hi Calvin, thanks very much for the Birthday message -- hope you had a good Easter. Back to work today... boo.
Hi Calvin! Yes, I'm the big mouth you know from the Neil Innes forum! I'm glad I found you here, as now I can listen to some of your work (as soon as I sort out my slow computer woes). All the best with the music!
