It is with great sadness that I report that on 24th July 2019, Whiskey River's fabulous fiery fiddle player, Mr Dave Wood, was lost to cancer. He was a mainstay of the band, has been a friend and colleague for over 30 years and will be very sorely missed. However, the band will go on and we will fulfill his gig commitments with the help of trusty sidemen such as Alan Cooper, Rob Strawson or Fiddlin' Doc Thomas. The gig list will reflect this RIP Dave...you were a shining light. Rock on, brother. |
