Etherwood, the Lincoln-born drum and bass producer behind 'Begin by Letting Go', plays The Drill with general admission standing.
Etherwood plays The Drill on Friday 12 March, and for those who know him, there's a bit of a homecoming to it. He's a UK producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who originally comes from Lincoln, though he's based in London now. He works under the name Woody, and the music he makes sits in the drum & bass world, but it's a particular corner of it. Rather than the aggression the genre is often known for, his sound is built on reverb-heavy guitar and delayed piano rolls, and he describes it as drawing from nature and the outdoors.
He built his following on tracks like 'Begin by Letting Go', which has hit 15 million streams, 'Souvenirs' with 9 million, and 'See The Sky' with 7 million. In 2025 he put out eight singles on his own Stillness Music imprint, including 'Deep Dive' and 'TANGARA', a collaboration with Hugh Hardie on the DnB Allstars label. He's also remixed Lana Del Rey, Jakwob, Gorgon City and Alex Clare, so he's worked across a fair few different styles.
His debut album came out in November 2013 and earned him Best Newcomer DJ and Best Newcomer Producer at the D&B Arena awards, followed by Blue Leaves in 2015. The Drill itself dates back to 1890 as the city's Drill Hall, a former military training facility that's now a versatile arts and community venue with a capacity of around 500. It's a standing show, and since he's a Lincoln native, this one feels like a proper return to the city.
