Goffey was born in Eton, Berkshire, and started his music career as a child when he formed his first band, The Jubbly Spufflewubs, which consisted of his brother on guitar and friend David Mackay. He had no drums so had to accompany the others by hitting chopsticks on lunch boxes. At age ten he received a high hat and snare from his parents, prompting him to start his other band, The Fallopian Tubes. They made songs such as “My Wife Shut My Gonads In The Door”, Goffey saying: “That one was about sexual frustration I seem to recall. So were all the others [songs]…”. At Wheatley Park School, east of Oxford, he became drummer for the four-piece The Jennifers, which featured a sixteen-year-old Gaz Coombes on vocals. The Jennifers began building a reputation in the Oxford indie music scene and released one single in 1992 on Nude Records before they disbanded.
Goffey lived in Berkshire up until the age of thirteen, at which point his family relocated to the Oxfordshire village of Forest Hill, approximately 4.5 miles east of Oxford. He began to attend nearby Wheatley Park School, where he met Gaz Coombes, two years his junior, on the playing fields of Wheatley School and asked him to form a band with him (The Jennifers). In 1993, (after The Jennifers had separated) he and Gaz began to share a house on Cowley Road in south Oxford, and Goffey later managed to complete his A-levels at Henley College in Henley-upon-Thames. Goffey also worked as a catering assistant in a school at this time.
