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, they 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.
After the band finished 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 their 50th Anniversary.
