Wood's professional career began in 1974, aged 17, when he joined The Bay City Rollers.
During the 1970s, the Bay City Rollers would earn immense popularity, which would be nicknamed Rollermania (the name inspired by that of Beatlemania).
When the band reformed for a reunion tour in 2015, Wood announced in 2016 that he was bowing out stating that disputes with Les McKeown had left him no choice. Wood posted to social media: "Hi all... just to say TITP (T In The Park, Scottish festival) is my last gig. Disappointed is an understatement but outwith [sic] my control"
Fans were under the impression that Les' shows were Bay City Rollers gigs. I was getting messages from fans pissed off with me for not turning up at gigs – but they were Les' shows.
Wood remains active with the Bay City Rollers and are about to release their new single 'Keep On Rollin'...KOR
Wood lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he was also born and raised, with his wife Denise.[2] He taught Music Technology at a local college.[3]
