Kirklees Most Wanted Showcase Set to Electrify The Northern Quarter on March 14th
The Midges perform “How I Feel” for our Kirklees Most Wanted Sessions.
Ruby Wood’s “My Favourite Song” is exactly that, my new favourite song.
Described by Wood to be a love letter to music, “My Favourite Song” unearths the connection between a person and the music that brings them comfort. Not only does it have an irresistible groove, but has such a level of danceability that you can’t help but put on repeat. This song is the perfect mix of intimacy and summertime R&B, captivating you from the second it starts until the saxophone gracefully fades out at the end.
The third track from Wood’s solo debut EP “Sincerely”, “My Favourite Song” is one of five beautifully written songs. This EP covers subjects such as letting go and pouring love into manifestation and growth, as well as watching daughters grow into powerful women – a beautiful and important sentiment supported by the love received by Jamie Cullum, Craig Charles and various other radio shows since the tracks release in 2023.
Originally from Huddersfield, Ruby Wood has been all around the world! Any fans of Bryson Tiller will be familiar with Wood’s mesmerising vocals after her appearance on “Right My Wrongs”, Tiller’s 4 x Platinum Winning hit from his 2015 album TRAPSOUL and its subsequent sell-out shows at Wembley Arena, Manchester Victoria Warehouse and Manchester Apollo. Although, this wasn’t Wood’s first collaboration or live performance. In fact, she has many collaborations including the likes of Alfa Mist and Krept & Konan, has toured with Bonobo and Nubiyan Twist and continues to grace the luckiest audiences alongside Nightmares On Wax, Abstract Orchestra and under her own name at venues such as The Great Escape and Cross The Tracks.

Mick Rawlings channels his passion for songwriting and performance into his country rock sound. A skilled drummer and rhythm guitarist with extensive live experience, Mick describes songwriting as his “happy place,” and that joy translates into his music.
“Midnight Drive” captures the feeling of escaping troubles with a late-night drive. The song explores themes of depression and isolation, but ultimately offers a message of hope and resilience as the protagonist finds support and self-acceptance.
Musically, “Midnight Drive” is a classic country rock anthem, perfect for cruising on four wheels, two wheels, or even just exploring the wilderness on foot. The driving beat and rousing chorus are complemented by cool guitar flourishes, creating an energetic and uplifting listen. The song’s relatable themes and catchy melody are likely to resonate with fans of country rock.
Dan Greenwood, a musician deeply connected to the “chanson tradition,” believes that music is inherent to humanity. Drawing inspiration from artists like Nick Cave, Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, and Richard Thompson, Dan crafts songs that resonate with raw emotion and poignant storytelling.
“Cry In Your Own Time” is a reflection on life’s challenges and the importance of self-preservation. With an infectious guitar melody and introspective lyrics, Dan explores the weight of the world and the need to prioritize one’s own well-being. The song acknowledges the shared struggles of humanity while emphasizing the importance of personal resilience. The track’s honest vulnerability and compelling musicianship are likely to connect with listeners seeking authentic and meaningful music.
