Hyde Park Picture House

Something Left Behind explores music, obsession, love, loss and fading youth over the 30 year lifespan of The Wedding Present’s much-heralded debut LP and features interviews with all four original band members, key players in the record’s history plus the major influence behind its very existence.

Much more than just a “making of”, this film is crafted very much as a love story and follows the album’s journey through the eyes of fans who have carried it with them for a lifetime. It also acts as an ode to the UK indie scene of the 1980s and shines new light on the influence of legendary DJ John Peel, who championed the band from their earliest days.

The story concludes with the band’s homecoming show in Leeds, where the city witnessed a blistering and emotional final-ever performance of the ‘George Best’ album and the closing of a hugely significant and personal chapter for David Gedge and The Wedding Present.

This special screening has been organised to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Wedding Present. Join us after the screening for a Q&A with Andrew Jezard, the film's director, and Peter Solowka, founding member of The Wedding Present.
