The Wedding Present @ Moshulu, 13 Dec

David Gedge brings the latest incarnation of his cult-favourite '80s concern north of the border for the first time in a year. Although they've cultivated an unfair reputation for being gutless Smiths also-rans, the Weddoes put on, in fact, a blistering live show, with some of the best moments coming from 1990's breakthrough Bizarro and 1991's Albini-produced masterpiece Seamonsters. If anything, they're worth going to see if only for the eviscerating Kennedy: "Have you lost your love of life? Too much apple pie". [Gillian Watson]
