Sex Pistols play Welwyn Garden City. McNeish, Trafford and Boon again attend the gig. Hugely impressed by the band and Johnny Rotten, McNeish and Trafford both decide to change their identities. Peter McNeish becomes Pete Shelley (this would have been his mother’s choice of name had he been born a girl), while Howard Trafford becomes Howard Devoto (the surname of a Cambridge bus driver recounted in a story by a philosophy tutor). They return to Manchester determined to start a band themselves.
