Daltrey, who was in the year above, had moved to Acton from Shepherd’s Bush , a more working-class area. He had trouble fitting in at the school, and discovered gangs and rock and roll. He was expelled at 15 and found work on a building site. In 1959, he started the Detours, which would evolve into the Who. The band played professional gigs, such as weddings and corporate functions, and Daltrey kept a close eye on the finances and the music.
