Unreferenced date July 2010 Woody Woodmansey s UBoat was an England English rock music rock band, formed in 1976. History Phil Murray and Dave Black were in a local Tyneside band together. In 1975, Black was asked to replace Mick Ronson as lead guitarist in The Spiders from Mars , as they reformed after their David Bowie era. In 1976 Black left The Spiders, and put Murray in contact with Mick Woodmansey Woody Woodmansey and together with Phil Plant, Frankie Marshall and eventually Martin Smith, UBoat came into being. Signed to Bronze Records , their first album , U1 , was recorded at the Roundhouse Recording Studios, and record producer produced by Gerry Bron . Bron placed UBoat as support band on the extensive 1977 Uriah Heep band Uriah Heep United Kingdom UK and Europe an concert tour tour . Bron suggested that prefixing Woody Woodmansey s, to the name UBoat, would for marketing purposes help sales, thus the name was edited just before release of the first album. UBoat broke attendance records at the Marquee Club during their five week residency in the summer of 1977. The band were influential with many emerging punk outfits. Gary Numan was a fan, emerging with a remarkably similar group image during the Are Friends Electric? period. The Sex Pistols sent UBoat a telegram to say that, regardless of not being invited, they would support UBoat at the ill fated 1976 Burstow Festival. One of the last appearances UBoat made was at the Reading and Leeds Festivals Reading Festival of 1977. They had begun recording their second album, when friction between Woodmansey and their manager caused a damaging rift. Murray and Smith remained with the manager, whilst the other three formed another band. Murray signed to Private Stock Records , and then had three years signed to Mickie Most at RAK Records , before eventually embarking on a successful personal development book writing career.
