White Light play their debut gig at All Saints’ Church Hall in Leigh, paying for the hire of the hall with surprisingly good ticket sales. Their set consists of covers of David Bowie, Roxy Music, Velvet Underground and McNeish’s own compositions, which would later become Buzzcocks classics. After playing one gig, they change their name to Jets of Air. McNeish takes the name from a phrase he heard in a physics lecture. Steve Christie leaves and a friend of Garth’s called Keith Jones replaces him as drummer. Ex-Kogg lead guitarist Tony Wall joins, later to be replaced by Russell Ashby. The band don’t have a lot of equipment. They have their own back-line amps, speakers and drums. The PA system is a spare guitar amp and a couple of speakers.
