Review of the LTW Live Event....

NEW TITLE: Beyond thrilled to say we’re bringing the great CP Lee’s Like the Night back into print to coincide with the 60th anniversary of Bob Dylan at the Free Trade Hall. This is a book as much about Manchester as it is about Bob Dylan. Pre-orders now open: www.route-online.com/all-books/li...

This week on Oh! Brother, we’re joined by David Gedge. David talks about growing up in Manchester, forming The Wedding Present in Leeds, John Peel’s early support, the band’s rise through the indie scene, the famous run of monthly singles, and working with Steve Albini.

All of a sudden this is next month. Tickets are are selling swiftly... and most of them can be found here: www.seetickets.com/event/house-...

“This is a band occupying a hallowed place in the musical firmament that no-one else has a chance of attaining.”

David Gedge of The Wedding Present is the guest on the latest Oh! Brother podcast He's seen The Fall live more than any other band, and he once wrote a song about listening to Hex Enduction Hour. He has appeared on more BBC radio live sessions than anyone, with the possible exception of Steve 👀
