Dead Wood Ghost is made up of Steve Glennie (guitars, vocals, songs) and Dave Wilkinson (guitars, vocals, songs) with assistance at recording stage from Stewart Argo (keyboards, drum patterns, techie stuff). The fundamental idea behind Dead Wood Ghost (and its temporary precursor, The Johnny Mathis Fan Club) was to build a musical partnership where ideas and voices were shared to create melodic songs with some poetic depth, whilst retaining a pop sensibility. The musical style is basically alt-country / indie with a nod to new wave, a tip of the hat to acoustic and a raised eyebrow to classic pop.
