THE WEDDING PRESENT

Thirty years after they spent 1992 releasing a new single every month, David Gedge decided to repeat the feat. Not encountered The Wedding Present for the past 30 years? Well, not much has changed. They still specialise in strumalong old-school indie-pop, although the band do diversify into funk on We All Came From The Sea and there’s even a rare ballad in Monochrome. As ever, Gedge’s vocals are an acquired taste, though they’re leavened by female harmonies these days. Whilst this project is unlikely to make many new converts, fans will be delighted.
