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 band, the Bay City Rollers.[1] He joined the group in 1973, replacing John Devine.
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.) He played rhythm guitar and occasional keyboards until 1976, when he moved to bass to accommodate founder member and bassist Alan Longmuir's two successive replacements Ian Mitchell and Pat McGlynn, both rhythm guitarists. On Longmuir's return in 1978, Wood moved back to rhythm guitar and keyboards, though he and Longmuir would often trade roles on subsequent albums.[citation needed]
Wood 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.[citation needed]
In more recent years, Wood has collaborated with many artists including Matthew McVarish, Eddi Reader, Michelle McManus, Marj Hogarth and Julienne Taylor.[citation needed]
Julienne Taylor recorded the 2011 album "A Heart Within" in Edinburgh, Scotland which was produced by Wood, who co-wrote a few of the songs featured on the album.[citation needed]
