Woody

Showcasing what Waterford’s indie scene has to offer, Woody have been releasing original music together since 2020, starting with their debut EP Bananas which quickly garnered the lads a fan base in their local music scene. Each song on the EP was highly regarded but none more than the opening track ‘Single Bed’, a pop inspired tune about unrequited love which gave the band its first taste of radio airplay.

When live music made its return following lockdown, Woody hit the ground running playing their first ever set of original music to an audience in The Theatre Royal - Waterford’s premier music venue - before becoming the house band for An Uisce Beatha which went on to win Munster’s Best Pub award that same year. It was in An Uisce Beatha where the Woody lads began to get a reputation as one of the most entertaining live bands in Waterford, with some wacky onstage antics as well as having one of the most charismatic frontman in the town with Craig Dunphy.

Woody began work on their debut album ‘Beans On Toast’ late in 2022 and following an interview on Waterford’s most listened to radio show ‘Déise Today’ with Damien Tiernan the lads released the album’s title track ‘Beans On Toast’ with the b-side ‘You Don't Get Me’. In mid 2023, the lads released two more singles in ‘Rose!’ and ‘Waiting For You’ before finally releasing the jangle-pop single ‘Breaking My Heart’ in September, a highly anticipated tune that has become a high-point of each Woody gig. The album ‘Beans On Toast’ is set for release in April 2024.
