Manchester University, 1967. Photograph from the University newspaper, the Manchester Independent. It illustrated the last of a series of articles about the band written by 'Daviona Burman' a pen-name of old school-friend David Edgar, who was also there, reading Drama, a year ahead of me. This article was headlined 'Van Der Graaf Bow Out' and announced that Peter and I were leaving Manchester to 'go pro'. "It's going to be a great scene," Daviona concludes.
