The collection has been designed by Paul in a collaboration with Phil Bickley , owner of Tonic, a menswear store in West London. The Autumn/ Winter 2014 launch collection includes tailoring, knitwear, shirting and accessories. There’s no ‘considered demographic’. REAL STARS ARE RARE is for men of all ages.

Great pics..and thanks for the set list reminder.
ReplyDeleteI was there that night (first time i've caught Paul live)
For me it was magic, loved it - if anyone heard a guy shouting for 'Running On The Spot', it was me haha, No one else made any noise, so i thought bugger it, i'm goin too, and Paul glanced my way and grinned, made my night.

All in all, a bloody good night, bar a lot of dead pan people in the audience, but that's another story.

Saw Weller in Cork and it was amazing! The crowd, and Weller, were well up for the gig and it rocked! Would love to see the setlist for that night, trying to remember everything he played!
