I heard via Facebook from a mutual friend, Jon Strong from Leeds, that Tim Wood, singer & songwriter from the north of England, passed away early morning Sunday 14th November. I remember seeing Tim a number of times while I was at Leeds studying in the mid 70s, also in the early 80s in London I think. A fine performer and writer of his own material, including one song "Freeman" that became quite well known via performances by Kieran Halpin, see this other mudcat thread. I haven't been in the UK since '86 but he is certainly one of the performers I remember. (No other personal connection, but a loss to the local scene).

He recorded one album "Getting Your Own Back" on Celtic Music in 1982 featuring Tom McConville and others that I have, also another one "The Whisper" on Dogwood Music in 1985, that I have not heard... I am sure that others who know more about Tim and his music can comment further.

Regards from Australia and condolences to his family and friends - Tony Rees
