New-form (1977-79ish)
all the band members were from hulme.Bernard metcalfe-vocals.willie metcalfe-bass.Terry massey-guitar.joe sullivan-drums.
just a local band that played a few gigs,the hulme carnival,the factory,being the plum gigs.the name changed more than the
gigs played,NU-FORM,new-form78,no-future, at times some members played with members of ESCALATER.also a hulme band.
the only member who carried on in any musical way was terry massey,mostly writing & recording.NEW-FORM actually would
inspire several people that went on from hulme into music, im not in full memory mode but vic,later victor joined NEW-FORM
as rhythm guitarist briefly and his own band would go on to sign for Chrysalis,i think chrysalis folded before their album was
finished? another local also would get up and guest vocal with NEW-FORM was FRANNY, the black kid who was a fan and you
could hear him playing mouth organ in the cresents.,he later played hi own gigs.FRANNY EUBANK i think was his full name.
i believe NEW-FORM acquired their equipment from other bands that played and rehearsed in manchester,maybe.
