The Woods Band

The Woods Band

The Woods Band has been played on NTS shows including The Early Bird Show w/ Jack Rollo, with January Snows first played on 31 January 2025.

The Woods Band was a critically well-regarded Irish folk-rock band formed in 1970 by husband-and-wife folk Gay Woods and Terry Woods after their departure from Steeleye Span. Performing for four years, the line-up evolved into Gay & Terry Woods. Subsequently, in 2001, Terry Woods formed a version of The Woods Band which performed and recorded through 2003.

The original line-up, with Ed Deane and Pat Nash, released only one album - the self-entitled Woods Band.

The later line-up featured Paul Harrigan (Accordion, Whistle, Uilleann pipes), Dave Browne (Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar), Steve Browne (Drums, Percussion, Backing Vocals), David "Sparky" Hughes (Electric Bass, Keyboards, Backing Vocals), Shane Martin (Vocals). Gigging occasionally, the group put out a single studio album, Music From The Four Corners of Hell, in 2002, before becoming inactive. Woods has described the band as "parked… with the wheels off and the engine out."
