I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have music in it.

I grew up in a musical family, the youngest of 5 girls. We all sang together with my parents at church functions, Nursing homes and clubs.

Through the years it has always been the lyrics that spoke to me. I love story songs. The type of songs that move you so much that you have to pull the car over.

I started song writing after my daughter was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). After I had put the kids to bed at night, the guitar was my best friend. It helped me get through some of the hardest times of my life and continues to do so.

Over the years I have been asked many times to record an album of my original songs and it has always been a dream of mine.

It is with the support of my family and friends that I have finally found the courage to turn my dreams into reality.

It’s a bit daunting laying your heart on your sleeve but the time is now !!!!

 

Who Is Wendy Wood?


I have been songwriting for over 20 years. During the last 12 years I have been singing in a female harmony trio called Those Gals with Kerry Walsh and Carolyne Morris. We sang a mixture of covers and originals. I always enjoyed signing my originals and it was a thrill to see people singing your lyrics back at you. I now sing in a Duo called Two Gals- with Carolyne Morris. We are hoping to introduce more originals to the gigs.

I won my first  Songwriting Competition in 1997 and this only inspried me to try and write better songs and improve my craft. Since then I have won numerous awards, too many to list but I am truly honoured to have won them

Here are some of the previous awards that I have won -

  • 1997 - Winner of the Tamworth Songwriters Association -          National Songwriting Competition - Amateur Section.
  • 2001 - Winner of 3 sections Songwriting Awards in Brisbane
  • 2004 - Winner of the TSA - Capital News/New Songriter of the year award
  • Charters Towers Country Festival Songwriting Award
  • Directors Award in Nashville
  • Multiple finalist in numerous awards
  • Received radio airplay in Europe
  • Won song competition which included having songs recorded on a CD.
  • 2010 - Winner Prefessional Section -TSA
  • 2011 - Multiple Finalist in the TSA Sopngwriting Comp and youbloom Song Comp
  • 2012 - Multiple Finalist in the Songalive Song Comp

 I also work in the aged care industry and in 2012 I was thrilled to be nominated and win a compassion award for a program that I helped initiate by providing Music therapy for my dementia clients. I love to see the expressions on their faces and hear them sing along.

I have also had some of my songs recorded by other artists including:-

Evelyn Bury, Reg Poole, Shaza Leigh, Marie Hodson and Kay Jeffrey

Wendy was awarded a LIFE membership of the Tamworth Songwriters Association for her dedication to the TSA over the years. She has been on the executive and committee since 1997.

 

What is Enchanted Wood?

Enchanted Wood is a collection of my original songs.

They have been inspired by events in my life and stories from those around me. 

The saying goes that Music is my life and the lyrics are my story.

That is so true with me. Music is my sanity.......................or maybe it’s my insanity. Either way,

It is who I am !!!!!!!!
