Yesterday, one of the wizards (Chorizo Garbanzo) ventured out into the wilds of West Yorkshire to go and see his beloved Wedding Present play the Long Division festival in Wakefield. His mate Mr Fingers accompanied him and they reminisced like the sad old gits they are about a quarter century of Weddoes-watching together. They had a busy day at the festival watching 15 (fifteen!) bands play in 9 different venues.
