That Playlist in Full

I'm not sure there will be very many people interested in this post, but I did hear some people making positive noises about the songs played both at the Wedding and at the reception in Leicester. If you're not particularly interested in the background music then feel free to stop reading now, or perhaps take a look at the photographs provided by the photographer.

It's fair to say that I have linked idiosyncratically and basically at what caught my interest. Many of the youtube videos or other things linked are live recordings or slightly different versions. Many of them just make me happy or are things I have seen for the first time today. If you want to know anything more about any of the bands then clock on their name or send me an e-mail about them.

Wedding Party Playlist

Before the wedding:
1. Oh God Where are you now? (In Pickering Lake? Pigeon? Marquette? Mackinaw?) - Sufjan Stevens [excerpt]
2. Redford (For Yia-Yia & Pappou) - Sufjan Stevens
3. Vito's Ordination Song - Sufjan Stevens
4. Hope - Dirty Three
5. Hail to the Lord's Anointed - The Welcome Wagon

[at this point Catherine was not around to walk down the aisle. We sat in nervous silence for a couple of minutes and the PA technician put Hope on again until Catherine arrived. Thanks PA technician.]

Whilst we were signing the register Peter and the organist played Part 1 of Okna na Marca Chagalla (1976) by Petr Eben.

As we left the Church:
Olsen Olsen - Sigur Ros [excerpt]
