Stuart John Wood

Stuart John "Woody" Wood (born 25 February 1957, at Chalmers Hospital, Edinburgh, Scotland), was a rhythm and later bass guitarist for the 1970s pop sensations, the Bay City Rollers.[1] He joined the group in 1973, replacing John Devine.

Woody was a co-writer of many Rollers songs, including the chart hits "Money Honey" and "Love Me Like I Love You".

He is usually referred to by his nickname, Woody. (As such, he was mentioned by name in Nick Lowe's 1976 single "Rollers Show", a parody of the Rollers craze.)

Woody and his wife, Denise, live in Edinburgh. He is still active in the music industry, producing Celtic music.[1] In 2007, Wood produced and released a DVD documentary of his life story, entitled Rollercoaster. The disc's initial release was in the United Kingdom only.

In more recent years, Wood has collaborated with many artists including Matthew McVarish, Eddi Reader, Michelle McManus, Marj Hogarth and Julienne Taylor.

Julienne Taylor recorded the album “A Heart Within” in Edinburgh, Scotland which was produced by Wood and co-wrote a few of the songs featured on the album and was released on July 29 2011.
