The Wedding Present - Lovelorn and Bittersweet Indie
The Wedding Present was one of the pioneering artists of UK Indie rock in the mid-80’s. Led by guitarist and lead vocalist David Gedge, the music of this band was often bittersweet love songs immersed in jangly and whirlwind guitars built on lovelorn lyrics.
After forming in Leeds, The Wedding Present would be associated with C86, a compilation cassette released in 1986 by the British magazine NME, that featured new bands from Independent labels. The C86 scene is regarded as a key moment for the development of UK Indie rock.
Our podcast will tell the story of this band from their early singles through albums such as the debut album, George Best, and the classic 1991 album, Seamonsters, to the late 90’s when the band went on an extended hiatus.
