WoodworX Two Short PlanX A stunning debut CD from Australians Toni Wood and Brian Heywood. "Vibrant and versatile are the words best used to describe the superb voice of Toni Wood which, coupled with her gift for finding the spirit of a song, makes every performance a heart stopping experience. Backed by the guitar and voice of fellow Australian Brian Heywood along with the jazz influenced fiddle of Thomas Fairbairn and the fantastic 'world' percussionist Donna Whitlock. Woodworx displays a wide range of songs that keep the listener engaged and encompasses new and traditional folk, blues and moody unaccompanied songs.
