Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich are an English rock band most notably active during the 1960s. Formed in Salisbury in 1964, the band consisted of David Harman (Dave Dee), Trevor Ward-Davies (Dozy), John Dymond (Beaky), Michael Wilson (Mick) and Ian Amey (Tich). Their novel name, zany stage act and lurid dress sense helped propel them to chart success with a string of hit singles penned by songwriters Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley including "Hold Tight!", "Bend It!" and "Zabadak!". Over the course of the band's career, they played several different genres, including freakbeat, mod and pop. Two of their single releases sold in excess of one million copies each, and they reached number one in the UK Singles Chart with the second of them, "The Legend of Xanadu". Unlike many other British bands of the 1960s who were associated with the British invasion of the United States, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich had limited commercial United States success. They did better in Canada, with seven songs in the top 100.

Since their original break-up in 1973, the band has reunited in various formations. All but the original "Mick" have since returned to the band, with the remaining four continuing without him. Dave Dee came to gigs occasionally until his death in 2009; following his death, they dropped the "Dave Dee" from the band name out of respect. Until the mid-2010s, Dozy and Tich led the band consistently until Tich's retirement in 2014 (and eventual death in 2024) and Dozy's death in January 2015. The band continued to tour, being regular guests on UK based sixties nostalgia circuits, with John "Beaky" Dymond, who returned in 2013; Dymond died in 2026, and the band decided to carry on with Adrian Fountain filling in Dymond's place, leaving no original members in the band. The original Mick, Michael Wilson, is the only living original member of the group.
