The Wizards Of Twiddly
June 20 @ 9:00 pm - 11:00 pm
The Wizards of Twiddly were originally scheduled to play The Puzzle in 2020. Post pandemic we finally arrive.
Formed in Liverpool 1988 the Wizards of Twiddly stuck out like a sore thumb ! Creating wildly ambitious music from a vast and colourful palette with large chunks of humour and theatricality. On their own Fracture for Pleasure label they produced two idiosyncratic albums ‘independent legs’ (1992) and ‘man made self’ (1994). Largely ignored by the mainstream music press (‘Scouse Gets’ NME 1993) they managed to attract a collection of committed supporters including Cardiacs’ Tim Smith, Radio One’s Mark and Lard and the late,great Vivian Stanshall.
In 1994 the Wizards of Twiddly embarked on a year long collaboration with the very legendary Kevin Ayers. In 2000 Market Square records released the live ‘Turn the Lights Down -Live in London 1995’ with the band accompanying Kevin on some of his tunes.
