The Wood and the Wire is album released in 1999 by British folk rock band Fairport Convention. It is the twenty-ninth album released by the band since their debut, Fairport Convention, in 1968.
Gerry Conway returned to Fairport on drums for his first appearance since 1973,[2] but the album most strongly features Chris Leslie, who alone and with Nigel Stonier, composed and took lead parts on most of it.[2] The result, according to Allmusic, was that "Leslie seems to have been part of this "moveable feast" for much longer than three years.".[2] Dave Pegg would later comment "Nigel Stonier is a great producer, writer and musician. He has really been very beneficial in helping with Chris Leslie's songwriting. The two of them have written some great songs together which seem to fit the Fairport repertoire really well."[3]
The shop shown on the cover is in Banbury, Oxfordshire, and the boy looking into the window is Chris Leslie's son, Sam.[4]
