There was a group called "Wizard", don't think it was kiwi, though. The lead singer was/is Roy Wood. One of their singles was "See my baby jive". Hope that helps you win a dozen of piss in a bet etc

Wikipedia states: born Roy Wood, 8 November 1946, Kitts Green, Birmingham, West Midlands, England.

I can remember him being touted as a Kiwi when he was in Move. Went on to form The Electric Light Orchestra ELO and then Wizzad. Solo career followed.
Every Xmas who can escape hearing Wizzard's " I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day"

I like this quote:"Roy Wood's classic material marks him as one of the greatest melody writers of the twentieth century, second only to Lennon & McCartney, and one of the most gifted multi-instrumentalists in existence. Most of his solo albums are solo in the truest sense of the word - recorded entirely by himself, where he plays all the guitars, bass, drums, pianos, banjos, trombones, flutes, accordians, violins - even the bagpipes! The sheer musical capacity of the man is jaw-dropping"�. "Roy Wood has got to be the most underrated rock musician of all time -

Interesting trivia:
The Move's song 'Flowers in the Rain' was the first song broadcast by BBC Radio 1.
I like this verse:
I heard the flowers in the trees
Make conversation with the trees
Relieved to leave reality behind me
With my commitments in a mess
My sleep is not a way of rest
In a world of fantasy you'll find me.

I also remember a song by them called "Forever".
You tube is great, isn't it? I've found videos of all sorts of music I haven't heard for years

They did a popular song called Angel Fingers which is on a recently released 70s album somewhere.
