[Film] My music documentary - THE WEDDING PRESENT : SOMETHING LEFT BEHIND

[mikeyjh]

Never got to see the Weddoes festival while living in the area, one big regret :-( Maybe on a return trip - Is it any good?

Yes. Always a great selection of bands. Tradition is that each act includes a weddoes cover version in their set which proves interesting. Only downer is there is the inevitable football clash. This year it’s Watford away which I am secretly hoping will move to Sunday but I very much doubt it will happen.

Hi again everyone.

The Wedding Present documentary I made will be screening at Duke of York's on August 10th. It's an early screening though to cater for people attending 'At The Edge Of The Sea' down at Concorde afterwards. Being a Friday though, it's worth an hour or so off work!

It screens at 4:00pm and will be followed by a Q&A with David Gedge + Shaun Charman (and myself).
Tickets here if anyone is interested:

Final reminder for anyone thinking of attending the film screening at Duke of York's today. It's followed by a live Q&A with David Gedge and (Albion fan) Shaun Charman.

Should be tickets left on the door or through the website in advance:

There's a trailer at the bottom of page 4 of this thread and a film review here:

It'll also be discussed (repeated from last night) on radio reverb this morning at 9:35am.

I’m really hoping to get along to this. Going to EOTS but making it for 4 could be difficult.

Looking forward to it. Hoping for lots of shots of grimy LS6 to bring back the memories!

Fingers crossed you can.
4pm is a little awkward, yes, but it was necessary with David's commitments to ATEOTS later on. Seems to be selling well regardless.

There should be plenty to satisfy you. I even got a blue and white striped umbrella into one rainy shot up there!

Hope you enjoy it...

Really enjoyed the film - really well made and nice to say hello to you and Shaun afterwards.

Sorry to say I missed it..... Genuine reason involving a problem with my urinary catheter.

Didn't get to the gig either.

Should be able to get along today ..... If things go O.K. I'll be the painfully thin bloke with a walking stick who stinks of piss. If things go well I'll be the painfully thin bloke with a walking stick not stinking of piss. If things go really well I'll be a skinny bloke on the piss wishing he had his walking stick with him.

Good to meet you.
Glad you enjoyed the film. Thanks for coming along. Was great to get over 230 people in there for a 4pm start.

Couldn't make the film I'm afraid. I'm hoping there will be other opportunities?

Did get to the gig and picked up a ltd edition anniversary poster which the great man himself signed. Unfortunately the gig wasn't up their amazingly high standards - think the material was weak in places, and although Danielle is a great musician, I find that her guitar playing lacks a bit of attack. Looking forward to today though whilst trying to follow the match.

I did not make the film sadly- some friends from Leeds did however and spoke very highly of it- going as far as saying it was quite emotional in parts! As for the bands I did enjoy the two days and thought the set lists for both Wedding Present sets were spot on. Playing bits of Tommy in between other material worked well I thought and to hear that William Shatner number live once more is always a treat. As for Danielle’s guitar playing- more than made up for with Charlie’s ferocious drumming. I’m going to spend today recovering and listening to a Marc Riley session I picked up at the merchandise.

Really enjoyed yesterday. Fabulous bonus to hear Project Cenzo get an outing as well. Seems like Charlie (who picked the setlist) loves the songs that have the long hard outros. Mr Gedges right arm must be sore this morning.

I am impressed that he has the energy when considering how much touring they do over the year.

I missed the start of this, but here is Project Cenzo live, for the first and possibly only time.

You’re definitely excused!
Hope things went “really well” and you made it last night at least.

It’s unlikely to play locally again. I think the Duke of York’s took a lot of persuading to even put this one on, even though it practically sold out in the end. It’s playing London in November though. Date TBC.

Other than that... Leeds, Glasgow, Dublin, Belfast and a couple more overseas to come so far.

Glad your friends enjoyed it. Seems to be getting a pretty good reaction whenever it’s played so far, which is very pleasing.

Really enjoyed last night’s set. They are all a bit worn out today after that record breaking ‘Take Me’ outro. Gedge had just picked up the bar tab for everyone though after a celebratory roast, which was nice!
