Nick Lowe wrote the “I Knew the Bride” but the first and most popular version was by Dave Edmunds in 1977. Lowe and Edmunds played together in Rockpile which performed a really fast live version in 1980.
Lowe recorded solo versions in 1985 and 2009. The 2009 one has a good video illustrating the story of the song.
