🎸 Were you at @weddingpresent’s 9th May gig?
We’re still thinking about it - the energy, the crowd, the legacy. It’s exactly the kind of spirit that inspired the new musical we’re making, based on the band’s impact on a generation.

It was great to meet up with David Gedge last week at our press day in #Leeds to chat about our plans for Reception the Musical. David even managed to visit some of his old haunts, including the Billiard Studio where the band recorded their debut single ‘Go Out and Get ‘Em Boy’ in 1985!
