Ayshea Brough was one of the stars of the Si Fi series UFO (her character was also called Ayshea)
She was also a model and was the presenter on the TV Pop show 'Lift off with Ayshea'
Roy Wood and Wizzard were regular guests on the show and Roy ended up writing and producing this single for her called 'Farewell' which she sometimes sang at the end of the show.
Roy also played most of the instruments on the song which also features Bill Hunt from Wizzard
Ayshea also used to sing backing vocals with Wizzard on TV. This single was released on the Harvest label in 1973 but did not chart

She was my first boyhood fantasy. She really did things to a lad's hormones.

Can anyone remember this song, which was also recorded by Ayshea, it went:
If you want some sugar for your daddy's coffee
Follow me, follow me
If you want an apple for your puppy-doggy
Follow me, follow me
The song's probably called "Follow Me Follow Me", but confirmation would be great!!!

hmm, Moonbeam. Do you remember the opening lines of it? I've been trying for months to see if it's the song
that's been going around in my head since 1974. Is it '..she flew out of the sky as the winds of July...'
something something?

Yes, it's like Roy-period ELO with Ayshea on lead vocals!
I agree about how this would have suited Toyah (herself from Birmingham)!

Does anyone remember her song Another Without You Day, with Moonbeam on the B side? It was a fabulous single. If anyone has it PLEASE can you put it on YouTube for me.
I loved Lift Off when I was a kid. Happy days. xx

Wow, my dad loved Ayshea so much he gave me her name. I'm nearly 37 now.

@guildfordboy I fancied her like crazy too, and those thighs had a devastating effect on me as well. The thing is though that when I was about 14 my older brother was a roadie and he took me backstage to a Wizzard concert. I stood next to her for about half an hour, and she smiled at me,I was in love but I was too shy to even speak to her :)

I was about 12 when Ayshea was a regular on our television screens. I can't even think of the right words to describe how much I fancied her, I think it was the bare thighs that did it. I'd love to know what she looks like now.
