The Wedding Present – Down At The Front https://www.downatthefront.co.uk The place to be to experience new music Thu, 30 May 2024 17:54:47 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 212659681 The Wedding Present https://www.downatthefront.co.uk/archives/28069 Thu, 30 May 2024 17:54:45 +0000 https://www.downatthefront.co.uk/?p=28069 The Wedding Present returned to Club 85. While I’m not a particular big fan of the Wedding Present, I have grown to like them more as years have passed. When I younger, I was more into heavy rock than jangly indie. In some ways they bypassed me. But their t-shirts were everywhere and I had friends who listened to them. The band is very much David Gedge with regularly changing band members. Most recent change is guitarist Rachel Wood who I thought was excellent. While I’m not their biggest fan, the Wedding Present have an impressive back catalogue and had more than enough songs to keep me entertained.
