Dave was left with nothing, forcing him to take up the drums. But Barry had taken it off him to learn to strum his first chords. In an interview with Channel 4's 4Music, Barry Hyde said that Dave Hyde was given a golden guitar by his parents when he was young. Hyde's younger brother Dave replaced Brewis (who went on to form Field Music). The reputation in the area grew through word-of-mouth. The project was meant to get young people off the streets by using music. They used the Sunderland City Detached Youth Project building (where Brewis and Hyde worked) as a free practice space. Millard and Craig had been in another local band together before. The band met at City of Sunderland College as a quartet consisting of Barry Hyde ( vocals and guitar), David "Jaff" Craig ( bass), Peter Brewis ( drums), and Ross Millard (vocals and guitar).
