Wizzard
Wizzard was the epitome of Roy Wood's notion of magic and
entertainment, formed in 1972 after Roy split from ELO (which then
fell under the leadership of Jeff Lynne).
 The mainstay of The Move in its heyday, Wood continued to make
brilliantly catchy hit records with his new band, including; Ball
Park Incident, Forever, Angel Fingers, See My
Baby Jive, Rock & Roll Winter and the ubiquitous I
Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday.
Wizzard's live shows featured Wood leaping around like some manic
English king, with the rest of the band (who Wood actually employed
and paid a weekly wage) dressed in equally insane costumes - angels
with roller skates jostling with ageing Teddy boys.
