Luke Haines / Izzy Wizzy Let’s Get Bizzy

Luke Haines – he of The Auteurs and Black Box Recorder ‘fame’ – will release Izzy Wizzy Let’s Get Bizzy, a new studio album, in July.

As people from the UK of a certain age may recall, ‘Izzy Wizzy Let’s Get Bizzy’ was the phrase that made the magic wand of glove puppet Sooty (from The Sooty Show) cast its spells (or something like that). The programme ran from 1955 to 1992 fronted initially by Harry Corbett and later his son, Matthew.

Anyway, much like Haines’ 2011 album 9 1/2 Psychedelic Meditations on British Wrestling of the 1970s & Early ’80s which was concerned with wrestling, and wrestlers, on UK TV in the ’70s, this new album has a fascination with magic and magicians of British children’s TV of the 1960s and ’70s. It features 14 songs “that conjure up everyone from Mama Cass to Tommy Cooper, and Graham Bond to Mick Robertson via Magic Shops and The Omen 2”.

That’s all we know for now, but the wrestling album was great, so this sounds promising, and I like the cover. Izzy Wizzy Let’s Get Bizzy is out on 10 July 2026 via Cherry Red and Haines is touring the UK in September.
