Classic Album Sundays: David Gedge

Classic Album Sundays and The John Peel Archive present The Wedding Present 'George Best' and Live Acoustic Performance

The Wedding Present will join BBC 6music host Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy to celebrate National Album Day on Saturday October 12th 2019 with a look back at their debut album George Best, discussing their early inspirations and the lasting impact of the album. This will be followed by a full album playback on a world class audiophile sound system. Then we have an exclusive live 20 minute acoustic performance from David followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Championed by BBC Radio One's John Peel and successive early evening DJs (and originally released on their own Reception Records) it will be precisely thirty-two years to the day that George Best was originally released. The new version will be available as a limited edition green vinyl LP comprising the original twelve tracks and a CD which will consist of a further eleven non-album tracks from the same era.

The boy Gedge has written some of the best love songs of the 'Rock 'n' Roll' era. You may dispute this but I'm right and you're wrong! John Peel

More information is available on the Classic Album Sundays website.

Doors will open at 4.30pm with the interview starting at 5pm.

This is a seated event, with seats unallocated, though all have a good view.
