The Wedding Present 'Live 1989'
£5.99
This is the third in the series of these much-demanded, re-mastered recordings. 'Live 1987² was released in 2007 and 'Live 1988² was released earlier this year, both to popular acclaim. 'Live 1989² is especially interesting because it includes some early versions of tracks that went on to appear on the band's major label debut, 'Bizarro'.
This year the band are celebrating the 21st Anniversary of the release of Bizarro by playing the album live. One of the discs also features The Wedding Present in 'Ukrainian' style, as they perform their versions of Ukrainian folk music.

This year David Gedge finally realised a dream that he's had for about 15 years.Visit product page →
He's been doing The Wedding Present since they released their first single in 1985, of course, but, since the late 1990s, he's also had a side project called Cinerama whose music is less guitar-orientated and features more in the way of strings, orchestral brass, vintage keyboards - ¦ and anything else from classic pop arrangements that's taken his fancy, to be honest. Last June Cinerama performed live for the first time in what you might call 'all its glory'... with a string quartet, trumpeter, flautist and assorted other guest contributors.
This spectacular event, which was held at London's 'O2 Academy Islington', was something of a one-off, so David decided to film it and record it for posterity. Live 2015'is the result of his endeavours. From the first twang of guitar to the last twinkle of piano keys, this recording sparkles; a total departure from The Wedding Present, as David intended it to be, of course. Cinerama bring to life favourites selected from each of their four studio albums.
With its "musical set pieces and vocal nuances fine enough to rival Bacharach and David", Cinerama's recent studio album Valentina' was described as "a truly sparkling and uplifting concerto for the modern age" by Vive Le Rock Magazine.

Visit product page →The first instalment of David Gedge's long-awaited memoir-in-comic-book-form'will be released by Scopitones Books on 6 November 2020. The stories featured in this stunning 176-page, matt-laminated, hardback book have previously only been available to readers of the Tales From The Wedding Present comic book series. This collected edition comes with forty pages of never-before-seen additional material and an introduction by Ian Rankin.
David has written this autobiography together with long-time musical associate Terry de Castro, and the stories are illustrated by virtuoso artist Lee Thacker. It's in chronological order, beginning with David's childhood in England and South Africa and continues up to the inception of The Wedding Present. On the way we learn about some of the romantic experiences that may have informed his writing, how he first met his hero - the legendary BBC presenter John Peel - and the true story behind the classic Wedding Present song My Favourite Dress'.
Reviews
'An autobiography of The Wedding Present would be great on its own. An autobiography in beautiful graphic novel form? Even better!' Dan Vebber (Writer, The Simpsons)
'This is brilliant! It's like the storyboard for a Wedding Present biopic.' Marc Riley (Broadcaster, BBC)'As informative, funny and essential as David Gedge himself. Can I be in the movie when all this is franchised?' Tony Gardner (Actor)
'This is the graphic novel indie music mash up that we have all been waiting for and only David Gedge could deliver. It's amazing!' Stella Creasy (Member, British Parliament)
'This is a Wedding Present fan's dream come true. Pure unfiltered Gedge; the inside track on what makes him tick and anecdotes aplenty. Essential!' Mike Gayle (Author)
'It's very typical of The Wedding Present to do an autobiography differently to everyone else... but the stunning illustrations in this book really bring David's stories to life.' Louise Wener (Writer, musician) -
Visit product page →Terry de Castro takes a novel approach to her solo debut, one that is especially charming, likable, and well, curious. She's chosen to take a wonderfully unusual course and recorded an album comprised entirely of cover versions, but these are not necessarily well-known songs by famous artists.
Each song is a story unto itself, and all of the songs hang together in a vivid and illuminating way. Nationality comes into play here as well: A Casa Verde is replete with the intrinsically soothing and unmistakably American strains of steel guitar and banjo, among other instruments.
"A low key delight (8/10)" [NME]
"I like de Castro's voice a lot" [Pennyblack Music]
"A glorious alt-pop gem¦ this is one of the most intimate and affecting records in years" [Rock 'n' Reel]
"A winningly intriguing collection¦ in a word: magical" [Rock-A-Rolla]!
