Over the weekend we heard the tragic news of the early passing of one our crew mates. His beloved wife Debbie has summarised his passing better than we could but the crew want to remember their friend Steve Wood.

The whole crew loved Steve, some of us knew him as Woody. A gentle and generous man, he warmly welcomed new crew members and held deep relationships with those who knew him longer. We already miss him as a friend but also his deep resonating voice, which brought a richness and passion to our performances, will live long in many memories.

Please indulge us in hoping that one day we’ll see him again in Fiddlers Green, where he will be first at the bar getting a round in.
