Michael writes - "Tea break during band rehearsal. We were the first, though not the last, punk band to emerge from this area. This photo is from one of the first rehearsals with this line-up. We were called 'Waifs and Strays' and were managed by the owner of the only alternative clothes shop in Derby.
Nick and Oliver had left Ecclesbourne by this point to go to sixth form college. I had remained at school and I can now confess that I had to bunk off on more than one occasion to attend rehearsals."
