(1) Wizzard was Roy Wood’s post- ELO project. Formed in Wood's hometown of Birmingham, Warwickshire in 1972, they made catchy, jazzy glam-rock hit singles like "Angel Fingers" and "See My Baby Jive" with a retro, Phil Spector-style "wall of sound" production. At the same time, they produced decidedly odd, almost avant-garde albums like Wizzard Brew. They remained active until around 1975.
(2) One of them is a 'blackened' heavy metal band from Finland. It enjoyed some success in Finland and Germany though even some fans wondered why they had taken the name of Roy Wood's famous band – the other z was actually added because the band didn't want to be confused with the German band Wizard. The band was founded by Teemu Kautonen as his solo-project in August 1995, and he handled all the instruments on the first demo, Teemu moved the band to Germany in April 1997 adding new local musicians CY and Daniel to the line-up. In August Teemu returned to Finland, but moved back to Germany in January 2001, and CY and Daniel came along again. Also a new guitarist Johnny joined the band.
Last known lineup:
Teemu Kautonen aka Hexenmeister - Vocals, originally also Bass & Guitars
CY aka Grobi - Drums
Daniel - Lead Guitars, Bass
Johnny - Rhythm Guitars

It's so sad to leave you cryin' in the rain
Silly girl those drops won't mend your
Heart again
If your most important things don't
Go your way come on, come on, come on
Let's save the day
Oh we're gonna make some rock
N' roll this winter
Now my teenage heart has said hello to you
Oh there's gonna be some rock
N' roll this winter
It's a wonderful rock n' roll winter, baby
Through the icy rain the
Northern winds may blow
But now your friendly music keeps
Me warm each night
It's the perfect pleasure you
Might never know come on, come on, come on
You'll be alright
Oh we're gonna make some rock
N' roll this winter
Now my teenage heart has said hello to you
Oh there's gonna be some rock
N' roll this winter
It's a wonderful rock n' roll winter, baby
Almost every song I dream of in the end
I could dedicate to you my lovely friend
Though my conversation may be tired tonight
Come on, come on, come on it'll be alright
I know
N' roll this winter
Now my teenage heart has said hello to you
Oh there's gonna be some rock
N' roll this winter
It's a wonderful rock n' roll winter, baby
It's a wonderful rock n' roll winter, baby
Oh baby oh we're gonna make some rock
N' roll this winter
Now my teenage heart has said hello to you
Oh there's gonna be some rock
N' roll this winter
It's a wonderful rock n' roll winter, baby
It's a wonderful rock n' roll
Wonderful rock n' roll winter
Oh baby, oh baby
The lyrics to "Rock 'n' Roll Winter" by Wizzard and Roy Wood depict a joyful and uplifting atmosphere during the winter season. The song highlights the power of rock and roll music to bring warmth and happiness even in the coldest of times. The singer addresses someone they care about, assuring them that despite the rain and the blows they may have experienced, they can still find solace and salvation through music.
The first verse suggests that the person the singer is speaking to is feeling down in the rain, but the singer dismisses the idea that tears can mend a broken heart. Instead, they encourage the person to join them in embracing the power of rock and roll to save the day. The chorus reiterates this sentiment, emphasizing that there will be rock and roll during this winter, a time that may otherwise be filled with coldness and hardships. The lyrics convey a sense of optimism and resilience, emphasizing that music can transform their experience and make everything alright.
In the second and third verses, the singer expresses their affection for the person they are addressing. They suggest that nearly every song they hear reminds them of this person, and they want to dedicate their feelings to them. Even if conversation may be tired, the singer reassures that everything will be alright.

This man has never received the recognition he so surely deserves...a talented musician and songwriter and yet hardly ever is mentioned.thanks roy.
@sandraharding2624
He should get a Knighthood for all that he's done for the music industry. Roy Wood is so bloody underrated, he's a brilliant singer/songwriter. He singlehandedly put The West Country on the forefront with his talent. I just love him from my school days to today Boxing Day 2023. His music never seems to age❤❤❤❤❤❤
@MichaelSheffield-ox8yd
He is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Debatable if that is an honor though.
@paulchilds9053
He is induced in the hall fame with ELO. That's a big deal
@davidbrianwells2058
He looks no different now.
@andshits
@@paulchilds9053 Yeah, no Roy Wood no ELO.
@dhek64
Pure pop magic. Roy exemplifies the best of England--modest, shy, quietly eccentric, joy tinged with melancholy, and generous-spirited. This song helps us to face the oncoming gloomy months with some spirit: the best sax sound in pop, and the best hoover solo in the history of music. And yes the singles are brilliant, but check out the Wizzard Brew album for something just as amazing. Thanks Roy for all the great work.
@TheStobb50
Roy Wood and wizzard was my heroes as I was growing up posters on my bedroom wall I had all the records even a bracelet with Wizzard wrote on it, I actually forgot how brilliant this record is. I’ve been on a life long journey in music and it all started with Roy Wood
@maplady572
Roy was my first poster on my bedroom wall aged 5! ❤
@sandraharding2624
I'm going to dig my CD'S out tomorrow and annoy the neighbours with plenty of Roy Wood and Wizzard. Brilliant underrated artist. Still love listening to his music. I dance around with cleaner, my dog must think that I've lost the plot ❤❤❤❤❤
