Wet Wet Wet

Wet Wet Wet are a Scottish soft rock band formed in 1982. They had a number of hits on the UK charts and around the world in the 1980s and 1990s, becoming best known for their 1994 cover of the Troggs' 1960s hit "Love Is All Around", which was used on the soundtrack to the film Four Weddings and a Funeral. The song was an international success, and spent 15 weeks at the top of the UK singles chart. The band is currently composed of founding member Graeme Clark (bass, vocals) and lead vocalist Kevin Simm, who replaced founding member Marti Pellow in 2018 after he left during the previous year.
