It wasn't unexpected to get the news that John Weller had passed away , it was a beautiful sunny morning in fact , but the news still stung even though the anticipation existed .
I finished work today , a day peppered by texts and calls , I missed the call that mattered but made ammends and spoke to the one person I needed to speak to , I raised a glass at dinner and reminisced with my beautiful partner of days of travel and nights of glory that followed , and after a little to much wine the drowsiness lifted and the harsh reality that someone very special had passed hit me , I wanted to say that , with my emotions bubbling very much to the surface , I wanted to remember those decades and shows and nights that we all spent together , indestructible , laughing and making the music of our dreams , wide eyed vagabonds not quite believing .
I remember the day on arriving back from Sydney, John telling me it was all over and he had enough of "this lark" , that was 24 odd years …

my ears are still ringing fom last nights gig at crawley k2!! how amazing this legend is ,with his wide varity of music styles and beats.as a big paul weller fan i was always gonna like a gig of his but was blown away by the performance and energy of paul .i like 22 dreams a whole lot more after hearing the live more rockier versions and when eton rifles and the other faves were played the crowd went mad.we did not want it to end and after an encore i said i wish they would of played malice then wey hey he must of heard!! in they came for the final track town called malice...i took my 16 yr old son who thought it was amazing too,just goes to show its not just the 30 somethings that love paul, theres a new generation of weller fans emerging and the lengend will live on forever......
