I was expecting my first baby and I was in the pub having a glass of coke. Someone put See My Baby Jive, on the jukebox and my baby started moving.

    I go back a long way with Roy, once I got interested in Wizzard, I went to listen to his solo stuff, his work with the formation of ELO, and of course what he did with the Move. I am just a great fan of the `pop' single of the 70's and 80's, and after waiting many years, have sadly come to the conclusion that nothing of that style is ever going to be written again. I've tried to get into the contemporary stuff, i.e. 90's Boyband/Girlband/Boy-Girlband up to present day but I can't just bring myself for the most part to enjoy any of it. Something has happened that I've often pondered long and hard about - Am I just not `with it' or is it mainly crap? I tend to think the latter and I mainly blame the Media. The art of song writing has been dumbed down to such a point that we now have the `too daft to laugh at' situation of someone like Ed Sheeren having 9 singles in the top 10. Somebody will then come along and tell me that this proves that he is better and/or more popular than the Beatles!! More to the point this stuff gets onto radio playlists. We need to rebel against it, even if it means not listening to radio 2, and DEMAND that we get a decent DAB/FM Gold station (that everybody can receive) where we can listen to the music we grew up with and WANT to listen to. The kids, if you give them the chance, with gravitate towards listening to good, well written songs if they are there to be listened to. Then who knows what the next new musical generation might be influenced by and come up with. Where is the next Roy Wood going to come from if all you have to do now is press a couple of buttons on a keyboard and your next single's done for you? Yes I fully agree - Sir Roy of Birmingham!

    As much as I love Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood is the mad scientist in the lab late at night germinating bands like The Move, and Electric Light Orchestra. He’s the true musical genius

      Really? I somehow think that the sheer number of times 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas..' gets played every year owes nothing to ELO. And the there's 'See My Baby Jive' ... and then 'Blackberry Way' (both number one hits, along with Angel Fingers)..

    That cello Hugh McDowell is playing seems to have a very slim body. Loved Roy and Wizzard. So original.

    The first live band I ever saw, Caird Hall, Dundee, I even guessed that "Ball Park Incident" would be the opening song.
    we had a Joke shop including fancy dress, where they got their novelty costumes from. Happy memories for me, thank you.

    Hugh McDowell from ELO on cello - always my fave from that band - slightly more reserved than usual here!!!
