Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
No strangers to tackling other peoples' material, often with the deadly relish of several Norman Hunters (everything from Lonnie Donegan to The Velvet Underground to Tom Jones), the serpentine career path of Leeds' colloquial indie faves The Wedding Present took an unlikely but fascinating ethnic twist in the late 1980s. Just as the Pogues were turning pan-folk-cultural, Weddoes guitarist Pete Solowka (his father originating from the land of the Cossacks and the Steppes) grabbed an accordion, roped in Slavonic languages student Len Liggins and mandolinist Roman Remeynes (haha) and led his Wedding Present bandmates through three John Peel sessions worth of unadulterated, traditional Ukrainian folk music (love, heroism and horsemanship all figure prominently). Two of these sets, from October 1987 and March 1988, were previously collated on the long-deleted Ukrainski Vistupi V Johna Peela album, but the third session, from May 1989, is available here for the first time. So successful were the results, Solowka left the Wedding Present to continue the theme with a new band, The Ukrainians, whose versions of songs by The Smiths and Prince have to be heard to be believed. --Kevin Maidment.
