Some good news and some bad news...!

First, the good news...we're super-pleased to introduce our new bassist, Gaf.

Gaf's first gig with us was at the Rhondda Hotel last Saturday, and we're looking forward to many more!

Now the bad news (and you don't realise how like Bad News things can get in rock 'n' roll until you see it for yourself...)

Unfortunately, we have had to cancel the upcoming gigs on 27th April and 2nd May. Hopefully we can reschedule them for later in the year.
This has been brought about due to circumstances beyond the band's control, we do apologise and hope you don't hold it against us!!

Another belated Happy New Year!!

First off, the band would like to say a huge thanks to Pete Angelus for stepping in (again!) for the last couple of gigs. Cheers, Pete, you're a legend!

Secondly, we must apologise to anyone that went to see us play at The Patriot pub in Crumlin
in January - owing to (now ex-)bassist Steve's unavoidable personal committments, we were unable to make the gig.
Thanks to The Patriots for being understanding.

We hope to have a new bassist sorted very soon.

28th December 2007

Mike has contracted laryngitis and has been told to completely rest his voice until it's cleared up.

This means that we cannot play tomorrow (29th) in Swansea.

A million apologies to you all, hopefully we can reschedule another date.

16th November 2007

Right then, now that the password for the website has been recovered, time for an update!!!

Where to begin...

First off, a big welcome, if you please, to new bassist Steve!

We've had some great gigs in since May, so cheers to everyone that came to see us, and to all
the other bands we've played with.

Hopefully it won't be another six months for the next update!

27th May 2007

Finally we have some recordings up!! They're on the 'Sounds' page for your listening pleasure!

Thanks to everyone that's been to see us since January, hope to see you all again soon.

Belated Happy New Year!!!

The gig at The Patriot pub in Crlumlin has now been rescheduled, and a couple of extra club events have been added to the itinerary!

17th December 2006

Thanks to everyone who's come to see us in the last 6 months. There's only one more chance to see us live this
year - at the Night Owl, Cheltenham, next Wednesday, 20th December. If you can make it there, it'd be great to see you!!

Cheers!!

26th October 2006

Oops - due to an admin cock-up (well, OK, booking a gig for a day when Sean will be out of the country), the gig at
The Patriot Inn, Crumlin, has had to be postponed. Another date will be rescheduled soon.

16th October 2006

It's at http://www.myspace.com/thewizardsofozuk

Also, here are a couple of pages that may contain some familiar faces...

23rd August 2006

More Gig news!!! Due to circumstances beyond their control, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath have regrettably had to pull
out of their gig at The Patriot, Crumlin on Saturday. Fortunately, Wizards of Oz had no gig booked that day (something to do
with the guitarist's other band playing...) so we're playing instead.

That's THIS SATURDAY, 26th August.at The Patriot, Crumlin.

It's going to be a rare outing for the band as Andy is away on holiday, it'll be as a four-piece.

20th August 2006

Gig news!! We're playing at the Night Owl in Cheltenham on 31st August.
We're the first band to play there since it re-opened in June.
The club has loads of history, including Jimi Hendrix playing there...but we won't mention its more
recent past as a drum 'n bass venue... (oops, too late!)

Lots of things still to be done on the site, but, in the meantime if there's a venue near you where we should play, please drop us
an email to wizards-of-oz@hotmail.co.uk  Cheers!

Hello, and welcome to what could be the new Wizards of Oz site, if the rest of the band like it.
You'll have to excuse the "daft advertising crap" at the top and right hand sides of the screen,
it's the only way this bunch of cheapskates will ever get webspace, hahaha!!!
It's unfortunate, but as long as the text doesn't go too far over then it shouldn't get in the way.
