Event Description
RICHARD WOOD
http://www.rwood.ca/
"Picture it: A graceful tune to start off a set, with beautiful zippering lines, played while caressing the fiddle to his ear, eyes closed, off in a serene realm in a dance with time, as he lures us there with him. Then a cutting strathspey to kick it into a higher gear as he whoops out loud and smiles at the crowd — a total of six reels in a row, all executed with flawless precision, pounding in rhythm, intoxicating in a firing energy, which brings about numerous fits of spontaneous applause from the crowd who spring to their feet in ovation immediately at the set’s end. Wood simply dropped every single jaw in the house — certainly making us all proclaim he is back, and he is better than ever." - Todd MacLean, Charlottetown Guardian.
For more than two decades, Richard Wood has impressed audiences all across Canada, as well as in the US, Europe, and Japan. Richard has played for Canada’s Prime Minister and Governor General, the Queen of England (in Toronto), and for the Emperor of Japan in Tokyo. In the late 1990s he toured the UK & Europe headlining concert halls and folk festivals. He’s since played at the Lincoln Centre in New York City, Epcot at Disney World, and was a featured performer in the touring fiddle spectacle “Bowfire.”
"The best or more precisely, the most entertaning fiddler I have ever seen."
Shetland Times
"Prince Edward Island's Bow shredding Fiddling Sensation."
The Scotsman
"See him if you can."
Toplas
"This stepdancing fiddler from Prince Edward Island exudes the qualities which will take him all the way to the top."
