Flic & Thom – A Wilton’s Music Hall Wedding

I’d like to say the gap between blogs was because I’m a feckless dandy who’s been sitting around in hammocks eating soft cheeses and listening to obscure proto-electronica like The Silver Apples. But the truth is I haven’t listened to The Silver Apples since I was about 18. And also the other stuff isn’t quite true either. I’ve been very busy with weddings. Which is great professionally, but a little less romantic in terms of my flâneur credentials.

The clean modern lines of the Hoxton Hotel, the roomy grandeur of Christ Church in Spitalfields, then the beautiful, slightly scuffed intimacy of Wilton’s Music Hall. Plus Flic and Thom, who were completely charming.

Thom’s friends were largely friends from music school. The two absolutely storming wedding bands assembled for the night were made up entirely of his friends, sometimes joined by Thom on guitar or performing his karaoke classic, Love Shack by the B-52s.

Flic loves her music too. There were Zappa references in the mix, and I’m pretty sure this will be the only time I photograph a first dance to Scritti Politti.

I went home feeling I’d left a gig more than a wedding. And played Róisín Murphy all the way home.
