Not the Pieces but a track Ducksy  recorded with Kev Garner many years ago.

Not mixed as guitar should be down a bit.

Don't think it was ever released

A lover's dream, star of the silver screen
She had it all, right in the palm of her hand
She left her mark, Queen of the Broken Hearts
Tore apart the heart of an innocent man

She kills in her own special way, with a smile
She gets her way, with her looks and her style

An honest man, a heart of gold, I'm told
The thing he lacked, the touch of a delicate soul
She came along, fit the bill she will
It was wrong, but he was in for the thrill

She won't take the blame 
Happy with the game she's playing
It's all one in the same
Another one night stand
Another broken man
Gone without an ounce of shame

She Kills

The Pieces of Mind are a band from South Wales, playing a mix of R&B and original music.  They were very popular in South Wales and Germany in the years 1963-69.  From their early practices at the St. John the Bosco Hall, on Cromwell Road in Newport, through supporting bands such as The Who at Coed Eva Community College in 1966, to playing nightclubs such as the Star Club, Top Ten & Crazy Horse in Hamburg, the Pieces achieved an almost cult status.

In that period, we supported many well-known groups including: Billy Fury, Chicken Shack, Stu James & the Mojos, Georgie Fame & Blueflames, David Bowie, Gene Vincent, Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, Manfred Man, Marty Wilde, The Applejacks, The Hollies, The Merseybeats, The Moody Blues, The Nashville Teens, The Pretty Things, The Searchers and The Who. 

When the band eventually ran out of steam in the late 60's, members went on to join bands such as David, Judas Jump and The World of Oz. 

The band reformed in 2013 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of forming in 1963.  Our first gig in nearly 45 years was to a packed South Wales Club on the 26th April 2013.  The Radio 2 DJ, Johnnie Walker, introduced us and the show raised nearly £3000 for a local charity. 

In 2015 we were invited to take part in a BBC programme, which looked at the UK's best part-time bands. This show was more of a documentary than a talent contest and as Rhod eloquently put it in Belfast 'there are no prizes...you get F*** All'.  1200 bands applied or were invited to participate and we reached the last 15, playing a gig in Belfast on January 15th 2016, which was introduced by Rhod Gilbert and Midge Ure. The documentary was aired on BBC4 in June 2016 and our band was the only one to be featured on the BBC1 Graham Norton Show and the Ch5 Mathew Wright show.  Rhod also played us a few times 2-3 on his BBC Wales Radio show.  We really enjoyed taking part in the show as tiring as it was.  

The band played the Brentwood Festival in July 2017, in support of Midge Ure, Heaven 17 and Go West.

It's taken over 45 years to release our first album, 'Born at the Bosco'.  The Manic Street Preachers kindly offered us use of their studio in Cardiff and also arranged for it to be engineered by Dave Eringa, who had just finished the Wilko/Daltrey album ‘Going Back Home’.  It was released in January 2015 and now available on Amazon, iTunes and other digital outlets.
