Wooden Horse are a hot new addition to the Spalding/Fenland local music curcuit. Performing covers reminiscent of great times in music history and also paying homage to the cream of todays musical crop, Wooden Horse are also an aspiring songwriting force in their own right, with a credible selection of originals that are swiftly gaining recognition amongst the local following.
Why this name?
Can't remember how it came about, but we assure you that it has nothing to do with the recent box-office release of Troy! Honest!
Do you play live?
We play live at local venues. It is an experience to say the very least... and one that is enjoyed by band members and dedicated fans alike. Special moments??? An entirely packed venue chanting 'Horse Horse Horse' has to be up there somewhere... as is playing alongside singed Chester-based band 'The Wayriders'.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The 'Horse follows the general consensus that it is a great asset for aspiring young (or old!) amateur/unsigned bands... however once the subject of record deals and royalties come into play, then the internet and MP3 market can quickly become an enemy.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hell yes.
Band History:
Wooden Horse formed at the beginning of February 2004, and had their maiden gig on the 26th day of that month. Until the time of writing, the 'Horse have performed numerous live sets at local venues, and are steadily gaining a solid fan-base.
In August 2004 we recorded our first studio EP, and also produced a live recording to supplement this release.

Your influences?
Wooden Horse are very much a guitar driven band. The style of the guitars is reminiscent of axe-slinging greats such as Jimmy Page, Bob Dylan and Billy Corgan.
There is also a strong bass prescence in the originals, paying homage to the likes of John Paul Jones and Jeff Ament.
Current main influences include: Led Zeppelin, REM, The Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, and British Sea Power.
