Formed three years ago, British rock band Sugarwood have built a well-deserved reputation as the most exciting and original rock band to rise from the North East of England. A broad appeal has given the band a large and loyal following. With well over 500 gigs to their credit they have developed an explosive live act, and are first and foremost a 'live' band. During their career SUGARWOOD have made numerous TV appearances. These include regular coverage on Northeast TTTV, UK cable music channels, BBC Choice and even Scandinavian Music Television.

Live appearances have included several festivals including 'Allensford Rock & Roots', and University tours of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Durham, York, Liverpool, Manchester and London. Their previous demos have enjoyed regular Radio airplay on alternative/mainstream stations in Germany, Holland, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, Sweden, France, Spain, Australia and even College Radio in the USA to name but a few.

SUGARWOOD have played throughout Britain with support slots to many signed bands (Space, Skin, Gomez, SFA), and recently blew off the doors on the first showcase night at 'In The City' (Liverpool, UK, September '99). After catching their show, the legendary American Producer Kim Fowley went on to tell the assembled industry that SUGARWOOD were poised to become one of the biggest names in rock. Fowley is a producer and composer responsible for a string of hits over the past 40 years, with artists that range from Gene Vincent to Nirvana. He was formerly a member of John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band and the West Coast promoter for Motown Records. Fowley's confidence in SUGARWOOD is such that he flew to the North East of England from his New Orleans home to produce the band's latest album - 'Devils and Sunlight'. This has not yet been scheduled for release, and in the meantime the band are promoting and touring their current album 'Smoke'.
