Here is a record that Roy Wood wrote for his then girlfriend Ayshea Brough. Ayshea was a tv presenter and actress, she hosted the 1970's tv pop show "Lift Off with Ayshea", she also acted in the tv show "UFO". Ayshea provides the vocals on this song and it is credited to Ayshea. It's easy to spot that this is a Roy Wood composition, he has a style all of his own.
Roy Wood not only wrote "Farewell", he played all the instruments and produced it too.
Hope you enjoy this little heard bit of Woody.

I recently watched Ayshea in UFO from 1970. You're right Timeblue it was UFO that Ayshea was in, my memory must be getting bad.
Here is an advert for the single, a Look-In article about Ayshea & Roy amd Ayshea with Ed Bishop from UFO.

I realise that mate, Both "UFO" and "Space 1999" were created by the late Gerry Anderson, the guy that also created the puppet series' "Stingray", "Thunderbirds", "Fireball XL5", "Captain Scarlet and The Mysteron's", "Joe 90" etc.

Wow, Farewell is more Woody-esque than a proper Wizzard production, talk about everything and the kitchen sink. Thanks for sharing!

Only problem with the video is in amongst all those gyrating, pulsating ,dancing?, prancing throwbacks to Top of the Pops in the 1970's ,while Woody's on there, which one is Ayshea? I remember as a teenage boy in the 70's, Ayshea ranked alongside the girls from ABBA, Olivia Newton John and Marie Osmond as the pictures to pin up on the wall. (Yes girls, boys had pin ups too)

(Yes girls, boys had pin ups too) That's not an official video for the song so Ayshea isn't on it. She was born to an English father and an Indian mother, she gets her exotic looks from her mother.
Here's a small photo of Ayshea with a Woody style star on her forehead, hers has an 'R' for Roy. Woody had an 'A' for Ayshea on his forehead.Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted
