Chris Wood is an English folk musician and composer who plays fiddle, viola and guitar, and sings. He is an ardent enthusiast for traditional English dance music (with a background in English church music), including Morris and other rituals and ceremonies, but his repertoire also includes much French folk music and traditional Québécois material. He has worked for many years in a duo with button accordion/melodeon player Andy Cutting: Wood & Cutting are one of the most influential acts on the English folk music scene. Q Magazine gave their "Live at Sidmouth" album four stars and put the duo "at the forefront of the latest wave of British music acts". One of his first recordings was playing bass and percussion on "Jack's Alive" (1980) the first album by the Oysterband (at that time called the Oyster Ceilidh Band).
Wood is also a member of the acclaimed Wood, Wilson & Carthy, with Roger Wilson and Martin Carthy. Wood & Cutting, together with piano accordionist Karen Tweed and guitarist Ian Carr, make up the Two Duos Quartet, who have made one album "Half as happy as we". With John Dipper on fiddle and Robert Harbron on concertinas, he is part of the English Acoustic Collective. This is also the name of an organisation which Wood set up in 1999 to link the many threads of his teaching activities, including summer schools based at Ruskin Mill near Nailsworth, Gloucestershire.
Other projects include "Listening to the River" (a concert project which interweaves recordings of dialect and oral history from the area around the River Medway with live music) and "Glassblower", described as "an industrial ballet".
At the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2006, the Best Original Song category was won by Wood and storyteller Hugh Lupton for "One in a Million", a modern retelling of a widespread traditional tale in which a lost ring is rediscovered in the stomach of a fish. He was also nominated in three other categories: Best Album (for The Lark Descending), Best Traditional Track ("Lord Bateman"), and Folk Singer of the Year.
In 2009, the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards recognised Wood as 'Folk Singer of the Year', and Trespasser was also recognised as Album of the Year.
In March 2009, Wood took part in the Darwin Song Project, a multi-artist songwriting retreat organised by the Shrewsbury Folk Festival to create songs that had a "resonance and relevance" to Darwin. A CD was released in August 2009.
In 2011, Wood again tasted success at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, where he was recognised as Folk Singer of the Year as well as winning Song of the Year for his song "Hollow Point", from The Handmade Life, a song about the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes in 2005.
In 2012, the singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading asked him to appear as support act on the British leg of her Starlight tour. (Wikipedia)
Saw him sing this live last night, beautifully moving though his version always is, this is the version that brings tears to my eyes
Mine too
Exraordinary version! Beautiful mate.
When you hear Chris Wood's interpretation of Jerusalem, it dawns on you that for the last 100 years, everyone else has been singing it wrong.
I've been I have been reading about William Blake for the last two weeks, watching documentaries about this remarkable man, this vision we this human that is an exceptional example of challenged to authority. bizarre of the English establishment has taken this song as its own, when it criticises the establishment, it changes challenges it with revolution talk it's one of most ironic songs captured by people so they don't know any better. But what Chris does with this song is quite exceptional, it makes me cry when I listen to it, this man is a great musical talent and to choose to Jerusalem, by William Blake is just remarkable. If anyone to find out about William Blake this plenty of documentaries on RUclips it's also worth reading the book, William Blake against the world Jim Wild the Centre for active and ethical .learning
haunting and amazing
Thank you Chris Wood. Such a beautiful interpretation of this iconic song and totally from the heart. I love the raw quality of this video, the police sirens, the train, the wave at the end. I regularly returns to this to reset my personal clock.
Looking for a finger picking version of Jerusalem and stumbled upon this. Don't know what to say other than a song like Jerusalem never stops for anything, sung in battle, full of patriotism. It never wavered with the sirens. Love the tuning and what a voice!
Just superb. thanks, Chris Wood.
A lament maybe, but what a sublime lament
Just beautiful
And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of god
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear, oh clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
A true national treasure 🙏
So beautiful
And may it be so…
Just amazing, lost for words
Incredible song and a beautiful version. The background noises somehow add poignancy.
For guitar nerds, his tuning is CGCGCD…and then capo'ed.
Ah! I was wondering if it was that one or not. Versatile...can be pretty or quite dark. Thankyou.
Such a beautiful rendition of a classic. Love it.
I don't think I have ever clapped at a computer screen before.
more of this kind of video please:) wonderful
Louis Hemmings if you like it then support the film maker who filmed not, bit this youtuber who stole it from him without credit vimeo.com/107713237
Exquisite
I come back to this to feast my ears and realise that last time I'd accidentally hit 'thumbs down' rather than 'thumbs up'. Gadzooks. Thankfully corrected and I hope the Gods forgive me.
Wonderful
wow great
Just excellent. And I love his cheery little wave to the passing intercity train at the end!
Rare talent ,
🥰🥰🥰
I wish there was a tab for this )
Nice
that guitar is sexy!!!
Is this a studio recording or is Crhis singing into a mike? It's such a perfect sound, I can't see how this can be the recording made in the garden?
Just enjoy
I want some hash
Jerusalem
Does anyone know what make of guitar this is?
hello everyone, if you love this video please support the filmmaker responsible, not this account who have stolen their work without giving credit. original video here vimeo.com/107713237
what tuning is this
Surely some folkie can post the tuning?
CGCGCD tuning.
Wow, thanks!
This (CGCGCD) is a favourite Chris Wood tuning for lots of his tunes :) two others, in case you're interested, are 'Spitfires' and 'One in a Million'.
Hello. I’ve just seen that you have posted this video, which is actually my video, on your own channel without credit or permission to do so. Please take this down immediately. Or I will report.
As a long standing member of the WI I prefer the more rousing one we sing, but everyone to their own.
Everythi n g about this is sexy, hell, evn the police chase in the background
At least the flowers look nice
A wonderful ode to Brexit.
Less dotttlig more spirit. Sing it like you mean it. It's not getting it for me.
Oh be quiet
James Lewis, what does 'dottlig' mean?This is not simply a spell-check question. What do you mean to convey?
It's something I haven't really considered much to my own loss, that England has a rich folk musical tradition!
This is a poem by William Blake.
@@triggerfish999 thanks for that. I'm curious to know where in England you'd be likely to find folk music being played? I'm Irish so not a million miles away.
