Gallery App and categories

I have a site with a working gallery. The client has requested that some albums get filtered to various areas of the site and I thought I'd try doing this with categories.

I have created a set called 'Events' (slug 'events') and a category within the set called 'Weddings' (slug 'weddings'). On the page I am using 'perch_gallery_albums' but maybe additional settings are not required here?

perch_gallery_albums( array(
                           'template'=>'album-main-listing.html',
                           'image'=>true,
                           'filter'=>'event', //ID for set??
                           'match'=>'contains', //or eq?
                           'category'=>'Events/Weddings', //Set>Category?
                           'count'=> 3
                        ));
));

At present the code above returns 3 albums but does not filter. Any recommendations on what to try?

I forgot to add that I have added:

<perch:categories id="event" label="Type of event" set="events" />

to the album.html template. The category appears to show fine here.

Gallery predates the category system, so that's not going to work I'm afraid.
