Interview with David Gedge, November 2008



The Wedding Present is a rock group based in Leeds, England, formed in 1985. By the time the band started work on their debut album, a number of independent and major record companies showed interest, but the band declined all offers and decided to keep releasing their material themselves. The album was released in 1987 and titled George Best after the well-known Northern Irish football player.

Over the years the band has undergone numerous line-up changes as well as different record companies. This year they released their latest album, El Rey, produced by the legendary Steve Albini.
