Event description

In the early 90s NFNWD struck up a musical partnership inspired by their high school musical heroes.

Deciding there was way too many band names starting with The, for a name they settled upon No Flowers No Wedding
Dress. A line from the Bruce Springsteen song The River.

That musical partnership has seen out the 90s, spent a month touring Spain and has seen the band perform countless
gigs and build an impressive catalogue of music and achievements.

Started jamming again last year, played a couple of shows and decided to play some more.

Simon London + the Spirits As a prolific songwriter – Simon London has always had different material to delve into across his various solo and band albums for live shows. However, playing in a band is his first love and so unsurprisingly, after being shelved indefinitely for over twelve years, in 2021 Simon London reinstated his band the Spirits. With three album releases to their name and a track record of ongoing tours, the Spirits were Simon’s main touring vehicle from their inception in 2003, enjoying radio airplay and touring frequently on both sides of the country, all the while building a loyal fan base. Then in 2009, weeks after the release of their third album, Simon left Australia to live in Sweden with his wife and the Spirits were shelved. Now the band has returned – albeit with a changed line-up – and their new album Don’t You Forget About Me is on its way. Don’t You Forget About Me is a true album in the traditional sense; 12 songs, 2 sides and intended to be heard and absorbed chronologically from start to finish. With the passing of the inaugural Spirits’ drummer in 2020 – a key motivation in the band’s reformation – the new songs evocatively mine a deep vein of material around themes of relationship, loss, shared journeys and celebration of this beautiful, fragile thing we call life. So with his well-travelled Telecaster in hand, Simon will front the three-piece Spirits as they present the louder, rockier material of his song-writing.
