About Terry de Castro
Terry de Castro's long-time collaboration with David Gedge started in 1998 when she joined Cinerama shortly after its inception. It was supposed to be for one concert and a Peel Session, but it turned into twelve years of touring and several albums with both Cinerama and The Wedding Present. Terry is also a founding member of 90s British trio Goya Dress.
She has been living in Los Angeles ever since then but her affiliation with the band continues. She has stood in on a couple of tours and recording sessions and frequently performs at At The Edge Of The Sea. She also co-writes Tales From The Wedding Present - David's "autobiography in comic book form" with David himself, together with Jessica McMillan and artist, Lee Thacker.
In 2019, Terry contributed a track to Not From Where I'm Standing - a compilation of James Bond themes curated by The Wedding Present. Her cover version of 'A View to a Kill' was performed with Paul Hiraga of Seattle band Downpilot and released by Come Play With Me Records for Record Store Day in the UK on 12 June 2021. The B-side features a cover version of The Wedding Present's 'Spangle', performed with former Wedding Present guitarist, Danielle Wadey.
