Peter Byford was born in a stone house in Honley,and when he was tiny his dad,a former miner,got a job in the textile trade and the Byford's moved to Skelmanthorpe.Life was tough but fun,and young Peter spent his days in the rolling countryside,rafting on the river,making tree camps or playing on his own with his model railway and soldiers.
His world was rocked by tragedy when his mother died,which destroyed young Peter,a shy child who suddenly had to grow up fast.Though grieving,he went up the road to live with his aunt and uncle,and returned home much too young to face the next challenge,that of looking after his dad,who had lost an arm in an accident in a factory.
By then he had taken the nickname as Biff.The younger Biff struggled at school because of his shyness,but loved the music lessons and became friends with a classmate whose brother had a guitar.At the same time a young man who had a banjo(班卓琴)moved into the house opposite where he lived and he taught young Biff how to play it.The seeds had been sown and music began to influence his life.
But even so,his working career began,in typical fashion for 1960s West Yorkshire.After a short time as an apprentice(学徒)carpenter,he went to work in the local weaving factory.And this was where Biff Byford,soon to become a legend in the world of rock,first learned to sing.The machines would run all day,clicketyclack,clicketyclack.The noise was incredible,and the workers would spend their time trying to lip read each other.
