About this concert
WEDDING PRESENT
The Wedding Present have had eighteen UK Top 40 hit singles? not bad for a band that has, from its inception, stubbornly refused to play the record industry?s game. It all started in 1985 when David Lewis Gedge boarded a National Express coach in London with 500 records packed into a pair of his mother?s suitcases and, in this fashion, delivered the band?s debut single Go Out And Get 'Em, Boy! to a distribution company in Yorkshire. That pioneering spirit has been at the core of the band?s philosophy ever since. From George Best, ?an unmitigated delight? [NME], the first full-length release on their own Reception Records onwards, the band has charted an appealing, if often eccentric, course of its very own.
