A guitarist whose dad was their biggest supporter has had his old man’s ashes secreted into the neck of his guitar so that - even from beyond the grave – his father will never miss a gig.
The musician in question is Mark Wood, who plays in the Hull-based metal band Impurist. His dad, Keith, taught Mark how to play guitar and used to travel miles to see his son play before he died of a heart attack in December 2022. "He just used to rock up at gigs and we'd just have a beer and a catch up," Wood told the BBC.
