We are "Woodfield"

If there's one thing more dull than playing the guitar on "Walking On Sunshine"... it's playing the bass on "Walking On Sunshine."

Chris Ward - 2007

We now have a name for the band, "Woodfield". This comes from the name of the road where we have our rehearsals at Farm Factory Studios

We've got a LOT of work to do getting ready for the gig on the 24th February, somewhere in the middle I have to fit in my 40th birthday.

The set list for the gig is taking early shape with about 14 cover songs under review. From a bass player's point of view it's certainly challenging encompassing as it does Ska, Reggae, Rock, Rockablly and some Cheesy Pop. Some of the Cheesy Pop has already been dropped and I suspect more may go before we have the final set - so there will be no "Walking On Sunshine" at this gig. I can't say I'm too cut up by that, I've played that song a million times in previous gigs and it is a pretty pedestrian.

Now - I've just got to work on turning my bass DOWN.
