The Wedding Present, formed in Leeds, England in 1984, is an iconic band with singer/songwriter David Gedge as the only constant member. The original line-up included guitarist Peter Solowka, bassist Keith Gregory, and drummer Shaun Charman.
With a history rooted in the ashes of Lost Pandas, The Wedding Present has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Their unique sound and powerful lyrics have captivated audiences worldwide.
From their early beginnings to their current success, The Wedding Present continues to deliver exceptional music that resonates with fans old and new. Explore their discography and experience the magic of this legendary band.

The debut album, recorded by the original four-piece Wedding Present line-up alongside guest vocalist Amelia Fletcher of Talulah Gosh / Heavenly and produced by Chris Allison, works brilliantly as an accessible, if at times gut-wrenching, introduction to The Wedding Present. It was popularized by fanzines, late night radio and word-of-mouth. It was spawned by a provincial, unglamorous group and centres around universally relatable subject matter, conveyed in bluntly matter-of-fact terms. It would be nearly impossible to name the standout tracks, since the band's strength lies in the fact that every tune is so solid: it should suffice to mention Everyone Thinks He Looks Daft, My Favourite Dress, and Anyone Can Make a Mistake - then remember that nearly every song on the album is just as good as those that have been picked out as singles.
