DAVID GEDGE - Go Out And Get Em, Boy! Tales From The Wedding Present: Volume One - Paperback Book [JUL 19]

Book (Paperback Edition). This collected edition comes with forty pages of never-before-seen additional material and an introduction by Ian Rankin.  

The first instalment of David Gedge’s long-awaited ‘memoir-in-comic-book-form’. The stories featured in this stunning 176-page, matt-laminated, hardback book have previously only been available to readers of the Tales From The Wedding Present comic book series. This collected edition comes with forty pages of never-before-seen additional material and an introduction by Ian Rankin.

David has written this autobiography together with long-time musical associate Terry de Castro, and the stories are illustrated by virtuoso artist Lee Thacker. It’s in chronological order, beginning with David’s childhood in England and South Africa and continues up to the inception of The Wedding Present. On the way we learn about some of the romantic experiences that may have informed his writing, how he first met his hero – the legendary BBC presenter John Peel – and the true story behind the classic Wedding Present song My Favourite Dress.
