James Wood

James Wood is a Hull based singer and pianist who turns a night out into a full on singalong. His set moves from soul and Motown to classic rock, pop and modern favourites, all reworked for piano and voice, with big choruses and plenty of chances to join in. Expect everything from golden oldies to newer anthems, mixed with the kind of warm stage presence that gets the whole bar involved.

At Molly Mangan’s, James brings that piano bar energy into an Irish pub setting, keeping the craic going between songs and reading the room as he goes. Whether you are in for a quiet pint that turns into a belter of a night, or starting off a Newland Avenue crawl, you can expect hands in the air moments, a few heartfelt ballads and a packed bar singing together by the end.
