Nicholas Breeze Wood is a multi-instrumentalist songwriter, with a passion for many types of music. His work ranges from Alternative Rock, through Central Asian and North African music, to the Medieval musical world of Europe. He is often drawn to music which is rich and etherial, and yet which also has a deeply rooted sound tapestry within it.

He plays a very wide variety of electric and acoustic guitars, as well as many instruments from Eastern Europe, North America, the Middle East and Central Asia. He has collected around 100 different stringed instruments, from all over the world, including copies of many Medieval instruments.

His interest in medieval music is with the sound world before the year 1300, especially the music of the trobadors of South Western France, and the songs found in the Spanish Cantigas de Santa Maria manuscript, the songs in which date to around the years 1250-1270.

Nicholas has played in rock, medieval and world music groups over the years, but now his studio is tucked away in the magical landscape of Pembrokeshire in West Wales, where he weaves his unique and reflective music.

Outside of music, he is also known as the editor of Sacred Hoop Magazine, a long established, leading international publication about shamanism and animism, the practices of which have been a life-long study for him.  He has written various books on the subject, and is recognised as an expert on shamanism. He is also considered to be a shaman himself by traditional shamans in Mongolia and other cultures, and holds initiations into their traditional practices.
