Yeah this is real. Damon Albarn mentioned this in an interview once – they had a special relationship with Ireland back then. One of the record company people was Irish, some of their very first gigs were in Ireland.
To be fair every Irish wedding I’ve been to is a bit of a blur.
I think AHouse or Something Happens
Is it in Dingle I wonder?
The woman on the right looks like she’s wrapped in newspaper 🧐
I’d say that’s definitely them, same Penguin Classics T-Shirt Damon Albarn is wearing in *She’s So High*:

The auld fella on the right in in some power stance, fair play to him.
It’s definitely blur. I believe it was the wedding of a record label employee of their first label Food Records.
PLAY BAIS AND GURTLES

They’re actually playing ‘Wagonwheel’ here given your mans jive stance.
Mad, tiny little dance floor too…. Very relaxed wedding, fine pairs of legs ladies.. where’s the bride
Thats class – looks like a cover of an album!
100% true. Henrietta Street if I’m not mistaken.

They don’t know these lads are about to become one of the biggest bands of the decade
White suit and purple shoes
There’s a surprising amount going on in this photo

There was a thread here a few months ago about Blur vs Oasis and this sub seemed to lean heavily in favour of Blur.
Not surprising.
Was in the kings inn on Henrietta St in dublin.
Did they know the hucklebuck?
Will yez sing Sweet Car-aliiine ta fuck
And somehow they’re actually playing Mr. Brightside.
Surprised they knew ‘The Hucklebuck’.
