This site is a tribute to Rosewood "Probably the best Rock band in the world"
Anything else is just a cheap imitation or poor cover band.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The Original Rosewood split on January 2008
Anything else is just a cheap imitation or poor cover band.
Coming from varying backgrounds and musical tastes Rosewood are out to set themselves apart from anything in the public ears With an individual sound that comprises many musical genres, Rosewood are probably the best rock band in the world. The band was formed from a three-piece acoustic set up which was origianly set up by BoylanVocals, with Cello on lead guitar and Chris ODonnell on Rhythm guitar. Together having been unable to find a suitable rhythm section, they continued to write and perform acoustically, always knowing the band would not be complete without drums and bass. Even so they still enjoyed a varying degree of success as a three piece. Performances at The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and a support slot with the super group The Collective, together with many local and central Scotland smaller venues, all to great acclaim, the three always knew there was more to come from Rosewood. To realise this, the introduction of bass and drums would be essential. Despite searching for an eternity fate would have it that bass and drums would come as a package. Paul Corrigan and Grant McNab had worked together for many years in other bands never being totally satisfied and on the look out for something special, an advert in the local music paper led to the first meeting. Within hours of getting together it was obvious that this was the line up the band needed and steady rehearsal, writing and performing would follow. Since then the band have grown together mixing their own individual styles, tastes and experiences to present what is now Rosewood - Based on a true story , the bands debut album and culmination of months of writing and performing. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Due to Paul having other commitments elsewhere, in early January 2007 he reluctantly decided to leave the band and the search was on to replace him. . .Temporarily filling the drum-stool, Ross MacDonald joined the band for our gig at The Ferry in August '07, but could not stay with the band. As Rosewood had a few differences of musical direction,and lack of belief and vision from some band members,the band spilt after there last gig at The Ferry. . .
Rosewood came to an end on January 2008

When does Copyright start?
Copyright in a musical work arises automatically once it is recorded either in writing or by some other means. Works can be recorded - and copyright may thereby arise - in a variety of ways including making a video, tape or CD recording of the work, as well as by the more traditional notation of a musical score.
The Act gives a copyright owner the exclusive right to do, and authorise others to do certain acts (known as ?restricted acts?) in the UK.
What are the restricted acts?
These are:
to copy the work
to issue copies of the work to the public
to rent or lend the work to the public
to perform, show or play the work in public
to communicate the work to the public*
to make an adaptation of the work or do any of the above in relation to an adaptation
*includes broadcasting, broadcasting on demand and use of music on the Internet
interactive services, including satellite and cable transmissions.
No-one can authorise any of the above acts without the copyright owner?s permission.
Generally the author of a work (described in the Act as the ?person who creates it?) is the first owner of any copyright in the work. However, since copyright is a form of property, the author can transfer the whole or part of his copyright in a work to another party (such as PRS or a publisher), so the author of the work is not necessarily the copyright owner.
How long does Copyright last in the UK?
Copyright in original musical and literary works generally lasts for a period ending 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the author dies.
