One of the best Wedding present's songs for me

[@ThePritch74]

Seamonsters is my favourite album of all time. It's an old bestest friend. Dare has never sounded better. Ever.

[@JMarinelli]

The best three minutes and fifty-four seconds on the internet.

[@dEadnAstyrEcords]

Brilliant.

The lady on the bass is such a talent. Her timing is fabulous.

[@user-ck9lm6xi1o]

This song makes me want to thrash and weep and trip the light fantastic, all at once

[@sugarmaven]

One cannot not dance to this piece. Moves me. Wedding Present I love you. You are the gift that gives and that has given for decades. xoxo

[@noodlingaround2023]

After listening to full on techno for hours I found this. It took me back and sounds as far as guitar music goes totally amazing.. Thanks a million..

[@neiltje]

This is the definitive version of Dare.

[@paddyrobinson7916]

I love this band so much, man

[@Slaphappy1975]

I feel you brother.

[@blixnick]

What a track! I’m just waiting for the next gig. Dare is so powerful and moving: few artists can write and play this way. Eternal thanks to Steph who made me discover the Wedding in Leeds in 1990. By the way what is the name of this quiet dog?

[@duncanjmurray]

Awesome! Great version.

[@geometricevolution]

These are so great! Trying to not watch them all at once so I can savor them.

[@stub6378]

Livid I missed these during lockdown. So good to see you guys.

[@timpea9766]

Jangling Formby (George) with heartbreaking poetic observation. Love it completely.

[@final_mile_music9713]

Gotta love a George Formby reference. Turn out nice again!

[@chrispools]

Another fantastic tune. Nice one

[@barneschitown]

I love the harmonies on this.
