Bassist Alex James said: “This was the only wedding Blur ever played. There won’t ever be another. When Leo told us, he was getting married and wanted us to play his wedding, we said ‘definitely’."
Leo discovered a band called Seymour in London in 1989 and his wife Jane recalls how he was "immediately hooked" by them.
James added: "Back then even our girlfriends thought we were rubbish. I think we all got beaten up after that first gig by one of the support bands, Graham (Coxon) had to go to hospital.
"The only good thing that Leo turning up at the side of stage, waving and grinning and telling how good we were. He gave us a great review. Leo Finlay was the very first person to like Blur."

Leo died from a heart attack at the age of 32 in 1995.
