Non-Christmassy
TV
ITV's "Living Genius" is a four-part series discussing
famous and
notable Midlanders. The episode of interest here will be broadcast
on
14th Dec when the subject featured is The Arts. Apparently,
they are
trying to work out if Roy (among several others) is a true genius.
Shall we tell them now or what?

Christmas TV
Roy will probably be all over your TV as is usual at this
time of year. Here is the first confirmed show:
ITV's Christmas Mania on Saturday
11th Dec. Roy is in the somewhat dubious company of
Cliff Richard & Donny
Osmond along with a load of others.
Check back for more or if you know of any that Roy is mischievously
keeping a secret from his own website (the little tinker),
please let us know.

 A
Sad Loss
Carl Wayne, former lead singer with The Move and more recently
with The Hollies, passed away after a short illness on Tuesday
31st August 2004. Carl and Roy have been very close friends
since childhood and shared many of their greatest musical
projects together. At a recent gig on Saturday (4th Sept)
Roy made a heartfelt announcement, dedicating Blackberry Way
to Carl.

Useless
Information!
We'd like to thank Starship Commander Fletcher for the following
memo...
"Roy Wood is to open Derby
City Libraries new Alvaston Library.
This library has been relocated to a new site on London Road,
Alvaston, Derby. It is a major and immense improvement from
the current Alvaston Library which closed on Saturday March
13th. The new Alvaston Library & Learning Centre will
open on Thursday March 18th 2004 at 2pm with Roy
Wood doing the honours!"
Roy has presumably been forgiven for his serious Library Etiquette
offence in 1973, where he was caught ripping the pages which
didn't mention him from the British Encyclopaedia Of Rock
and blowing his nose on them. (He had a really snotty cold
at the time). Consequently, he had his Library card confiscated
and was banned from reading for 30 years.
Phew, rock 'n' roll, eh!!!
