A film about the “greatest break-up album of all time”. Exploring obsession, love, loss & fading youth over the lifespan of The Wedding Present’s debut LP.
THAT set list from the last ever ‘George Best’ show in #Leeds, 2017. What a night! See the documentary again tomorrow night (May 22nd) in Leeds: https://t.co/4dQI3zbhFM

Setting off this morning for those very streets. See you soon Leeds…
The documentary is screening again tonight (May 22nd) at @HydeParkPH 🎟️ https://t.co/4dQI3zbhFM 🎟️
Followed by a Q&A w/ the director & guitarist Peter “Grapper” Solowka
We filmed an hour and 48 minutes of interview footage with Peter Solowka. That’s considerably longer than the finished film itself. I’m sure he will still have plenty of interesting things to say at the post screening Q&A tomorrow night in Leeds though:

#Leeds is easily my most visited city in the north (unless I include London!). Always try and fit in a trip to @JumboRecords, @HPBCLeeds & @Nath_Brudenell
Tomorrow: https://t.co/4dQI3zbhFM
Back up for a week in June, if anyone can recommend the best cask ale pub, please do...
It's all about Leeds! See the full story in the city this Thursday (May 22nd): https://t.co/4dQI3zbhFM
The Hyde Park Picture House is bringing the #film back to #Leeds to celebrate 40 years of the band. Followed by a live Q&A with the director and Peter “Grapper” Solowka.

"The voice of 'the girl' is really important (and rare) here. Rather than ruin the mystery it adds another context. It is interesting to see a friendship come out of youthful love that never can last 'forever'. "

In fairness, everyone thought it!
An interview I feared might never happen, but always wanted. Keith's importance to the band was very clear, as was his reluctance to be in the limelight both then and now. Thank you for appearing Keith

David Gedge’s lyrics analysed by someone who knows a thing or two about the art of songwriting. Emma Pollock (The Delgados) covers topics ranging from the relationship between a band and their producer through to nostalgia and the loyalty of fans.

Author (& TWP fan) Mike Gayle with some insight into writing about real life and the honesty that can often come from heartbreak. Great contributions in the film from someone who not only loves the album but who knows all about personal writing.

One of my favourite candid quotes from the film. An unstructured and very honest reflection from Peter culminating in the opening line from his famous on-record rant. Delighted when he said it and knew it was going in the film.

The T-shirts are not guaranteed to make you this happy, but they might well do.
30th anniversary film, 30% sale... Seems to make sense. Very limited stocks left in some items/ sizes: https://t.co/K3meS1SPxq
#theweddingpresent#film#merch
After another low stock reminder came through, I thought I would do a quick update on the last of the film merch. If there's anything you still want/ need, grab it while you can. And finally... Season's Greetings to all!
