The Artwoods, art Gallery , A 1966 Uk Decca Record Label Mono Vinyl Lp, Rare.

The Artwoods were an English rock band who formed in 1963 and were professionally active between 1964 and 1967. They were a popular live attraction, rivalling groups such as The Animals, although, despite releasing a clutch of singles and an album, their record sales never reflected this popularity. Singer Arthur Wood, from whom the band took their name, was the eldest brother of Ronnie Wood who later found fame with the Faces and Rolling Stones . Art Wood had been a vocalist with Alexis Korner s Blues Incorporated for a short period during 1962, simultaneously fronting his own group, the Art Wood Combo. When keyboardist Jon Lord and guitarist Derek Griffiths from Red Bludd s Bluesicians joined the Art Wood Combo, the Artwoods were formed. With Keef Hartley, formerly with Rory Storm The Hurricanes, joining on drums and Malcolm Pool from the Roadrunners joining as bassist, in December 1964 the band turned professional, securing a residency at London s 100 Club and signing a recording contract with Decca Records.
