Of course, the wind sort of swept up and the music was flying around in mid air and they were trying to play off it. You had to be there. It was quite funny. Roy Wood airflyfunny Change image and share on social
When we did a lot of that Motown stuff there were four of us on the front line. When we started the evening we'd start from one end of the band and just go along. The lead singer would change all the time. That's the first time that I actually managed to put it into a record. Roy Wood bandchangeend share on social
Even though we didn't actually record it as the Move I had already written a song called 'Dear Elaine', which I subsequently put on the Boulders album. I thought at the time that was probably the best song I'd written. Roy Wood albumbouldercall share on social
Unfortunately, most of the songs that I write I don't write them with guitar in mind. I just write it as a song and that was probably one of the ones that left an opening for it. The song's all right, I wouldn't choose to sing it now. Roy Wood chooseguitarleave share on social

We should have gone over years before that. I always wanted to and I think most of the band did. Roy Wood bandwantyear Change image and share on social
The best thing I ever heard was in the '60s. I heard Jimi Hendrix play 'I Can Hear The Grass Grow' after a rehearsal, and it was brilliant. Roy Wood 60sbrilliantgrass Change image and share on social
