In September 1990, 'semi-legendary' Indie band The Wedding Present released a four-track EP sardonically entitled All The Songs Sound The Same. Now comes the book of the EP, in which over 250 fans and former band members talk about their favourite Wedding Present or Cinerama song and explain that every song does not sound the same.
Rather than a track-by-track or album-by-album analysis, fans nominate the one song that means the most to them and why.
With an introduction by Wedding Present mainman David Lewis Gedge, the book includes contributions from Sir Keir Starmer KC MP (Leader of the UK Labour Party), Stella Creasy MP, folk singer Amelia Coburn, the Legendary Len Liggins (The Ukrainians), writer & broadcaster Andrew Collins and music writer Mark Beaumont as well as current or former Wedding Present band members including Patrick Alexander, Peter Solowka, Shaun Charman, Terry de Castro, Melanie Howard, Marcus Kain, Charles Layton, Graeme Ramsay, Jon Stewart (from Sleeper) and Danielle Wadey.
They, and over 250 other fans, friends and collaborators have between them nominated over 100 different Wedding Present and Cinerama songs, which are dissected and then championed as the best of David Gedge's songwriting.
