The Woodentops

The Woodentops play Giant, the debut album released 1986. This melting pot of original independent chart topping rock ’n’ roll broke into the mainstream charts, producing a single ‘Good Thing’ that was the sound of the summer radio daytime, evening and John Peel at night, simultaneously.

Giant comes from the dawn of electronica, machines matched here with acoustic raw live performance,
a scientifically tight melodic bedrock for the characterful vocals of Rolo McGinty, one of UK’s most instantly recognisable voices.

One song from the sessions Why Why Why was the first crossover hit of the Balearic Beat club movement that emerged from Ibiza in the 80s.

Giant broke the Woodentops across the world and still today this influential milestone of an album sounds fresh, singular and unrivalled.

The Woodentops live reputation and this albums influence are continually name checked by todays musicians, Djs and music writers.

The album Giant is without doubt, a milestone in UK rock and roll. It will be performed in the original and complete running order for the first time in the Woodentops' colourful history.
