Every Saturday between this one and the debut gig, Maher rehearses with Devoto, Shelley and Diggle in the basement of Devoto’s flat, in preparation for the rearranged debut gig, now on 20 July. It is a large terraced house, big enough for rehearsals, but the noise does little to please the neighbours.

Owen Jordan is living next door to Devoto at 366 Lower Broughton Road, and, since he is a youth-club leader in the area, he offers the young band the chance to put on a concert for the kids of the youth club and the space to rehearse at St Boniface’s Primary School in Salford. The building is adjacent to St Boniface Church and youth club, which is the building they would soon play in. It is a thinly veiled manoeuvre to eradicate the noisy band from his home life. They accept nonetheless.
