When they were around eleven years old, Nick Hodgson, Nick Baines and Simon Rix met in the same class at St. Mary’s Catholic High School, Menston , West Yorkshire. After leaving school, Rix and Baines left for university in 1996 whereas Hodgson remained in the Leeds area, meeting both Andrew White and Ricky Wilson. Hodgson, White and Wilson formed the band Runston Parva, a deliberate misspelling of a small East Riding of Yorkshire hamlet called Ruston Parva . After Runston Parva failed to secure a record deal, the group re-formed as Parva upon the return of Rix and Baines from university.
