Title: What’s Roy Wood Doing...

This vibrant Look‑in cover from mid‑1973 captures the pop‑television crossover energy of the era. The headline asks, “What’s Roy Wood doing with Ayshea?” — teasing a feature inside on the flamboyant Wizzard frontman and TV presenter Ayshea Brough.

The artwork shows both stars in full glam‑rock regalia: Wood with his trademark wild hair and star‑painted face, Ayshea mirroring the look with matching makeup and a lilac top.

The bright yellow background and bold typography reflect Look‑in’s youth‑pop aesthetic, bridging music and television culture for its teenage readership.

Additional cover lines promote a Suzi Quatro interview and colour pin‑up, plus a competition to win a Carly Simon LP — a snapshot of the magazine’s mix of pop, TV, and celebrity features.

CONTEXT AND NOTES

Roy Wood’s theatrical image and Ayshea’s television fame made them ideal Look‑in subjects, representing the fusion of glam spectacle and mainstream pop appeal.

The magazine’s design — bold, cartoonish, and saturated — typifies early ’70s British youth media, where music stars were presented as larger‑than‑life icons.
