“Book Descriptions: Co-edited by David Lewis Gedge, lead singer and main songwriter with The Wedding Present, and music writer Richard Houghton, All The Songs Sound The Same brings together over 300 stories from fans, friends and current and former members of The Wedding Present, who each write about their favourite song by The Wedding Present or David’s other band, Cinerama.
Altogether more than 100 different Wedding Present and Cinerama songs are dissected and then championed as the best of David’s songwriting, with contributors including: Sir Keir Starmer KCB KC MP, Stella Creasy MP, folk singer Amelia Coburn, the Legendary Len Liggins (The Ukrainians), music writer Mark Beaumont, writer & broadcaster Andrew Collins and current or former Wedding Present members.
If you’re not a die-hard music fan, you may not have heard of The Wedding Present, because they’ve only graced the Top Ten UK singles chart once in over 35 years. But hundreds of fans have contributed stories to the book, setting out why particular songs by the ‘semi-legendary’ Indie band from Leeds mean so much to them.” DRIVE
