Wizz Jones at The Selkirk

Wizz began his musical career leading a country and skiffle band called The Wranglers in his home town of Croydon, Surrey in 1958. He had been inspired to take up the acoustic guitar a year or so before this after hearing such guitar luminaries as Big Bill Broonzy, Rambling Jack Elliot and Muddy Waters playing at a club in London organized by Cyril Davies and Alexis Korner. He enjoyed considerable success throughout the '70s in Europe and Scandinavia both as a touring soloist and together with his wife Sandy in the group Lazy Farmer.
