Paul Weller At His Concert.....

2010-11-08T13:56:00.001-08:00

Forum Theatre on Tuesday night was entertained by Paul Weller, the fans enjoyed his performance a lot but he didn't play "A Town Called Malice"

When he is in the throws of something of a career resurgence, the fans are really disappointed that Weller declined to play arguably his best song.

He received his best notices in decades when his tenth solo album release this year's Wake Up The Nation, topped the British charts.

The 52-year-old's set was anchored by a slab of material from Wake Up - peppy new tracks such as Andromeda and No Tears To Cry impressed - but they sat easily with Jam and Style Council classics.

''We're gonna play a mixture tonight,'' Weller harrumphed near the start of the show. ''Some old and lots of new. Some you haven't heard, some you should hear.''

The night's curio was a cover of James Taylor's How Sweet It Is. It was lapped up.

Paul Weller has an ability to innate ability to chew gum, smoke and sing at the same time.

energetic survey of four decades of songs

2010-10-26T03:19:00.000-07:00

I saw a Stevie Wonder concert in London at the time he was breaking out of the Motown pop straitjacket and taking off in a new exciting direction with his Talking Book album. The crowd booed and kept shouting out: “Sing Cherie Amour!”

"The crowd will vary: there's stuff for older audiences like the Stereophonics and Paul Weller, as well as pop acts like David Guetta and Florence."

Belsonic at Custom House Square in the city centre will also feature veteran Welsh rockers Stereophonics.

They formed the basis for his concerts at the Enmore Theatre, but really this was a majestic, swaggering and energetic survey of four decades of songs - and you could gauge by the audience’s reaction which decades meant most to them.

Four four decades British “Modfather” Paul Weller has been changing not only his own direction but sucking a lot of young bands into his gravitational pull.

Slams Mor Festivals Paul Weller

2010-08-23T13:32:00.000-07:00

Paul Weller reckons festivals have become ''middle of the road" and too media orientated.

As the Modfather the veteran singer and guitarist known affectionately - at festivals has played across the world for decades with The Jam, The Style Council and as a solo artist, but reckons overall festivals ar starting to become too media friendly.

At the Virgin Media speaking V Festival, he told Absolute Radio: "I can't remember the right expression actually, but it's become more middle of the road.

"Around TV and radio its more built - not that I'm trying to bite the hand that feeds me - but it's quite true.

"I mean, I can only compare it to like when you talk about '96 or when we did Glastonbury in '94, when you could stretch out and you could jam on tunes and people were up for that, and now it's a little bit more geared towards the greatest hits I think."

Paul said there has also been some practices by audiences creeping in that he certainly doesn't welcome, namely hurling certain objects at the stage.

He added: "I think that's a fairly new sort of phenomenon really - the chucking of the p**s. I personally wouldn't recommend it.

"But I've been hit by things onstage many times."

Recorded with former Jam cohort Bruce Foxton, 'Fast Car / Slow Traffic' is apparently inspired by life in London. Paul Weller said, "It's a real London tune. It's a pretty full on. It was actually interesting to hear Bruce playing on it. You can immediately tell it's him".
In addition to the new single Paul Weller has confirmed details of a lengthy British tour. Opening on November 23rd in Brighton, the tour moves around the country taking in a number of venues.
Running throughout November and December, Paul Weller is set to finish the tour with a celebratory show at London's Wembley Arena.

"All I can say is that I am very, very much in love."
The dad-of-five, known as The Modfather, also said he is very close to his kids - some of whom are just a few years younger than Hannah, including son Natt, 20.
He told Word: "My daughter has me down as The Modfather in her phone. But that's just her taking the p*ss.
"Natt allowed me to go to one of his club nights once. I got ushered in and put in the disabled section. I do embarrass him sometimes when I get a bit sh***ed."

Torn Between Two, The Moon

2009-10-23T12:07:00.000-07:00

Latest signings to Acid Jazz, The Moons come with an authentic rock pedigree. Fronted by Paul Weller's keyboard player Andy Crofts and also featuring Chris Ketley from The Rakes, the band craft soulful slices of a classic English take on rock. Drawing from influences like XTC, The La's and The Specials - the record is far from a retro romp but sits comfortably alongside contemporary pairs like The Coral, The Zutons and The Bees. The Moons came to the attention of the label after Eddie Piller picked up their self financed 45, Don't Go Changing for his award-winning radio show on Q earlier this year. He encouraged the band to go in and record an album, and so The Moons spent a month in Paul Weller's Black Barn studios working on their debut, which is due for release in February 2010. The single Torn Between Two is culled from that album and backed on a limited edition 45 with the Holland Dozier Holland classic Leaving Here (often fertile ground for British bands having previously been interpreted by a diverse crew including Ronnie Wood's Birds and Motorhead). The band are launching the single with an instore at HMV's showcase shop in Oxford Street and are playing a short tour around the country, both on their own and with particular guest slots with both The Rifles and Ocean Colour Scene, as a taster for a 30 date tour in the new year.

Room 7½, Dot Allison

2009-09-13T05:21:00.000-07:00

There’s validation here that Pete Doherty hasn’t lost his way with words. Not so much on his guest appearance, where he sings “I wanna be your man”, a line some old 1960s band already used, but in his description of Dot Allison as “like some gifted child locked in the attic of the music industry”. It’s a attractively expressed image to describe one of those singers who never quite look to have the resources, ambition, thickness of skin or sheer bloody mindedness necessary to habitus up real career momentum. Allison understandably has the talent, and Room 7½’s band, including the PJ Harvey collaborator Rob Ellis and some former Bad Seeds, create a lovely setting for her burly but bewitching voice. Doherty’s guest slot, and one by Paul Weller, add enough variety to counter Allison’s lack of a vocal second gear.

John, Paul, George and Ringo... The Fabber than ever Four

2009-08-28T03:11:00.000-07:00

The Beatles were last in a studio together 40 years ago, but they cast a long musical shadow - as Paul Weller and Noel Gallagher will affirm.
And, after the chart success of 2003's Let It Be... Naked and 2006's Love, this autumn will see yet another wave of Beatlemania.
The group's absolutely back catalogue has been digitally remastered for the first time.
As well as their 12 studio LPs, from Please Please Me to Let It Be, two other albums are being re-released: the soundtrack to Magical Mystery Tour and the Past Masters anthology.

All the albums are being made available apart, although there are also two CD boxed sets one in stereo, the other mono for collectors.
At the moment, there is still no deal for downloads in place, but it is absolutely only a matter of time before The Beatles are for sale online, too.
Remastering almost nine hours of music took four years. And while the overall adaptation in sound quality are subtle more prominent handclaps on Eight Days A Week, crisper guitars on Yesterday, cleaner drums on Sgt. Pepper a playback at Abbey Road was enough to assure me that The Fab Four have never sounded better.
The Abbey Road engineers, who liberated the master tapes from a steel vault, have removed electrical clicks, microphone 'pops' and hiss while preserving the integrity of the original recordings.
For them, the process was difficult by the fact the first four Beatles LPs were originally in mono while the later ones were stereo.
But, with each refunded CD containing new liner notes, photos and a brief documentary, the remasters should absord old fans (without messing too much with treasured memories) while providing a superb introduction to newcomers.
What ultimately shines through is just how compelling The Beatles were in the first place.
From the raw energy of their early hits to the technically cultivated Abbey Road, they were extra less than fab.

Paul Weller door is ajar for Jam

2009-08-09T02:57:00.000-07:00

THE JAM getting back together of THE tantalising prospect has inched closer to reality.
WHO gig in 2006 the Bruce and Mod father Paul were reunited and they have stayed pals and are now working together again.
The duo have been recording demos at Paul's studio in Woking, Surrey for the Brit-winner's next solo album which is due next spring.
I’m told: “Paul and Bruce get and well now. It didn’t take that after met each other again long for them to re-establish their closeness.
The Jam's success in the John Weller was instrumental. "Bruce attended Paul's father's funeral in May.
"Following that, Paul decided to invite Bruce to his studio to give on some ideas."
Hence the Bruce said that "never, ever happen "Paul hearing this would mean a total change of his mind, who in the past has said it would "never, ever happen".
He added: "My children would have to be destitute and starving in the gutter before I'd even consider it."

Fire at festival delays Paul Weller's Perfromance

2009-07-27T08:45:00.000-07:00

PAUL WELLER must feel like he's been cursed after a calamitous set of events at the Benicassim Festival in Spain.

First, his set was delayed after a bush fire started close to festival site and then he had to call it a day midway through due to high winds.

Out of control ... fire rages in Benicassim

The Modfather had been due to appear on stage at 9pm, however a fire right next to the festival site meant his set had to be put on hold while firefighters battled to keep it under control.

Paul Weller Winter Tour - More Info

2009-07-02T05:00:00.001-07:00

OK, folks. We are still wary to re-post the expected (rumored) Paul Weller Winter Tour dates as they still have yet to be confirmed. Numerous people have phoned Bookings Direct and have been told the tickets will go on sale July 8. Throughout the day, there have been reports that some dates have shown up on the ticket site, but disappear just as fast. To be honest, we just don't know. It's been a crazy couple of days trying to get the correct info for you. I'm looking at the site now and there is no listing for Paul Weller. So, I'm sure there will be all sorts of speculation until we get to July 8th or we are lucky enough to have an official announcement before then. At any rate, all this excitement for concerts scheduled to take place five months from now is a true testament to the dedication that our faithful readers have for Paul.

As always, if we hear anything concrete, we'll let you know.

2009-06-01T23:41:00.000-07:00

June 5, 2009 Friday, 21:00 on BBC Four: Damien Lewis narrates this documentary telling the colourful story of Island Records, the Jamaican-founded record label built by maverick boss Chris Blackwell which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2009.

The film features a rare, in-depth interview with Blackwell alongside contributions from former Island artists Grace Jones, Toots Hibbert, Amy Winehouse, Sly and Robbie, PJ Harvey, U2, Brian Eno, Spencer Davis, Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens, the B52s, Kid Creole, Greg Lake, Ian Anderson, Trevor Horn, Paul Weller, Richard Thompson and Keane.

BOOKIES LOSE £100K ON PAUL WELLER BETTING 'SCAM'

2009-03-15T21:09:00.000-07:00

British bookmakers lost around £100,000 after a flurry of betting suggested Paul Weller's name had been leaked as a Brit winner.

Leading bookmakers stopped taking bets on this year's Brits awards after a number of £50 bets were placed on Paul Weller to win the best solo male award at several William Hill outlets in London within a short space of time.

William Hill, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power and Tote were among the bookmakers to suspended betting on the music awards ceremony but around £100,000 was still lost in the industry...

Seven men placed bets in London and Guilford, close to Weller's birthplace in Woking, raising suspicion that the leak may have come from the pre-recorded interview carried out for the Jam star's Brit acceptance speech.

"It was our music department's worst night for years," the spokesman said. "It's highly unlikely we'll be betting on the Brits again as there is no doubt the results are circulating up to a week before.

"The fact Paul's' interview was pre-recorded suggests people had been tipped off," the spokesman continued.

William Hill bosses stressed they do not believe Weller had any involvement in the scam.

Stock, 38, said: "It's very sad - particularly at Christmas and with the children."

Paul Weller 'You Do Something To Me' Lyrics

2009-01-14T02:25:00.000-08:00

You do something to me
Something deep inside
I'm hanging on the wire
For love I'll never find
You do something wonderful
Chase it all away
Mixing my emotions
Throws me back again

Hanging on the wire yeah
I'm waiting for my change
I'm dancing through the fire
Just to catch a flame
Feel real again

Hanging on the wire
Said I'm waiting for the change
Oh I'm dancing through the fire
Just to catch a flame
Feel real again

You do something to me
Somewhere deep inside
Hoping to get close to me
A peace I cannot find

Dancing through the fire yeah
Just to catch a flame
Just to get close to
Just close enough
To tell you that.....

You do something to me - something deep inside

Paul Weller - personal life

2009-01-13T07:35:00.000-08:00

Weller and Dee C. Lee, Style Council's backing singer, formed a romantic relationship after the formation of The Style Council.. The couple married, and have two children; the couple are now divorced. Weller has five children in total: two with Lee, one from a short relationship, and two with Samantha Stock, his partner from 1995-2008. Shortly before Christmas 2008, Weller left Stock to move in with his backing singer.
Weller has a fine relationship with his father and appreciates his practical thinking and honest ideas. When Weller's father's health began to fail in 2003–4 he retired from being Weller's manager; nevertheless, Weller still welcomes his opinions.
Paul Weller refused to get a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list of 2006. Weller released Sea Spray/22 Dreams on 3 November along with the "Weller at the BBC" box set

Introduction to Paul Weller

2009-01-13T07:23:00.000-08:00

Paul Weller has epitomized different characteristics of pop traditions over the years. To anyone with an eye for the Mod cloth, he has been a fashion icon. To thirty-something fans of The Jam, he fronted the most thrilling and vital band since the 1960s (or ever, for that matter). Paul Weller has taken benefit by the nickname of the Modfather, a term which reflects his near - lifetime passion for the Sixties cult which has infused parts of his image and his music.
The Jam were Mod, in the very English sense of mid - Sixties, The Who or The Kinks. The Style Council were Mod in the very multi-ethnic sense of modern jazz. Paul Weller solo is Mod in the brains of a post - Acid Jazz dance and a late Sixties Small Faces vibe. He has come to symbolize a very British style of rock which transcends age and easy arrangement. Paul Weller’s thirty year career shows an unusual scenario. By his own admission, he keeps on to emulate his musical heroes, a mixture of Sixties (Mod) icons - Steve Marriott, Pete Townsend, Ray Davis, and soul legends Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield
