“The name came from, erm... us all just agreeing on a name that we liked. There was talk of Swans at first, but there was already a band called Swans, way back in the eighties. An American band. So we thought, well, we can't have them, and I think Andy said, "well what about Doves?" We ruminated it around the three of us and went, well, it's not so bad, it's all right.” ThinkingWayFirstsWellsSaidThreeNamesBandEightyDoveSwans Author:Jimi Goodwin
“My theory on Manchester and why it produces the bands it does is that because the world is willing to listen to them, it gives the kids a confidence and and a belief that ...what has happened before might happen again. It's something to aim for.” WorldGivingDoeMightHappensKidsBeliefHappenedProduceWillingTheoryBandAimManchester Author:Jimi Goodwin
