Section 25 were originally formed in Poulton in 1977 by brothers Larry and Vincent Cassidy and before long were signed to Manchester’s Factory Records.

They released a number of albums and singles on the label including the song ‘Looking From A Hilltop’.

Ian Butterworth and Roger Wikeley joined the band as part of a new line-up, performing alongside the Cassidy brothers for the band’s first live show in almost two decades.

Sound engineer Stuart Hill joined the band a few of years later.
