Wizzard formed in 1972 byRoy Wood, who had already had a couple of lives in music by that point. Wood had been the guitarist and one of the lead singers of 1960s psychedelic group The Move, who had a run of top 20 UK singles.

5 oct. 2020 · Charlie Grima takes the lead on "Don't You Feel Better," a straight-ahead rocker by Main Street standards. "I Should Have Known" might best epitomize the fusion of jazz and rock for which Wood was aiming, with its shifting melody, saxophone solos, and time signature shifts.
1 janv. 2018 · Mongrel included drummer Keith Smart and percussionist Charlie Grima. Smart played in The Lemon Tree, a Move-inspired pop-psych band that issued two 1968 Parlophone singles co-produced by Move guitarist Trevor Burton, including one side (“William Chalker’s Time Machine”) written by Kefford.
