The Wedding Present was born in Leeds in 1985.
Rising from the ashes of The Lost Pandas, The Wedding Present was assembled by David Gedge [singing & guitar] and Keith Gregory [bass], when they enlisted the services of Peter Solowka [guitar] and Shaun Charman [drums].
Several events [including a Wedding Present musical!] are being planned to celebrate the band’s forty years in existence including a UK & Ireland tour, with a visit to The Belfast Empire on 28th September.
