<b><br /></b></div>
Paul Weller kicked off his run of Forest Live shows with a storming performance at Sherwood Pines, Nottingham. Fresh from his European dates, the Modfather played a set featuring two encores, supported by young up-and-coming groups The Merrylees and The Rails.<br />
<br />
But the night belonged to a rejuvinated Weller, who played a variety of hits from his long career. His set started with three staples of his recent live performamces; Sunflower, From the Floorboards Up and Wake Up The Nation. These powerfully-riffed songs were followed by 2010's Fast Car/Slow Traffic, and another offering from 2005's As Is Now, Come On/Let's Go. The crowd's volume was brought right back up following the superb Sea Spray from 2008's 22 Dreams and That Dangerous Age, by the one Style Council song played, My Ever Changing Moods.<br />
<br />
In the Forests where Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor, Weller fans could have been forgiven for hoping for more than this solitary Style Council number, however it got the fans up and dancing, especially with Weller's vocal featuring the full final, faded verse from the 12" single release.<br />
<br />
The set advanced with Foot Of The Mountain, an exquisite number taken from Wild Wood; surprising perhaps that the title track was omitted considering the surroundings. Next, the first of three Jam songs again raised the tempo, with lesser-known B-side Tales From The Riverbank failing to spark the whole crowd into the raptures that would follow but nonetheless providing a nice mellow sound as the evening wore on and darkness began to descend on the forest clearing, with some dark cloud at times encroaching on the blue sky, which rarely, however, threatened rain.<br />
<br />
Next came recent fan-favourite The Attic, followed by Going Places, from the album Illumination, which Weller admitted during one of his few spoken interjections, was "not much cop" aside from this song. Dressed in a dark blue, long sleeved top with light coloured trousers, Weller was finding his voice by this point, using all of his stage space. What followed was perhaps the night's best performance, a stunning, all-action rendition of Friday Street. Drummer Steve Pilgrim was superb on the sticks all night, and this track proved no exception. Buoyed by this, Porcelain Gods followed, with an interesting use of effects (following on from the experimentation with Aim High at Bush Hall last month). Vocally, this was as good as Weller got, a sublime performance.<br />
<br />
A mellow version of Above The Clouds was next, before Weller switched his guitar for a keyboard to do Dragonfly, the song based on daughter Jessie's poem, in the week where wife Hannah threw her weight behind a campaign to protect the privacy of children. The extended playing of Weller really added something to the song just not captured in the single release. Throughout the gig, Weller and right-hand-man Steve Cradock, dressed smartly in a grey suit, regularly went to the side of the stage to swap guitars, with electric and acoustic equipment used.<br />
<br />
After Dragonfly came another more recent single, 7&3 Is The Striker's Name, with Weller back playing his more familiar instrument. This led into the first of the two final songs in the main set, Peacock Suit. This gritty version raised the volume levels once again, before Jam classic Start! left fans happy.<br />
<br />
However, as the stage emptied, long after some of the sell-out crowd had inexplicably left (perhaps for the football), a chorus of whistles rung around the standing-only area by the stage. Weller knew what to do, so no-one was surprised when he re-emerged, explaining that the first track of his encore would be He's The Keeper, written for Small Faces legend Ronnie Lane (incidentally the opener of More Modern Classics, of course).<br />
<br />
This was followed by a glorious extended version of classic track Out Of The Sinking, with the end of the song giving Weller a chance to thank his band, including "the very lovely Andy Lewis" on bass guitar, before he moved across to a keyboard for the second time to give Heliocentric fans another track from that album, Picking Up Sticks. It was towards the end of this that Pilgrim was allowed a drum solo, perhaps not as brash as last year at Thetford Forest but impressive nonetheless. Weller stayed put at the keyboard to end this segment with a rendition of Be Happy Children, featuring the piped voices of his offspring, with daughter Leah's album contribution replaced with a male vocal.<br />
<br />
The star moments of the evening were, however, yet to come. Re-emerging from the left of the stage for a second time, Weller and the band proceeded to play two stunning tracks to bring the house down; Weller's personal favourite Whirlpool's End, and Jam classic Town Called Malice, complete with customary sing-along. And with those two giving a stirring finish to the evening, the crowds headed home.<br />
<br />
Ten years to the day after Weller released his cover of Gil Scott-Heron's classic The Bottle, there were no covers included in his set this time. Malice replaced The Changingman as the final song from his recent European tour, and also Wild Blue Yonder was culled. However, 25 songs is not bad value for money.<br />
<br />
Weller's performance, and lack of reliance on his best known solo work, surely proved to any doubters that he is at the top of his game right now, and a new album is hotly anticipated. Weller now plays Kent's Bedgebury Pinetum on Saturday as his next forest stop, before heading on to Dublin's Royal Hospital next Tuesday. In the 14th year of the Forestry Commission's Forest Live gigs, Weller remains one of the most-seen artists, behind founder Jools Holland, his first appearance coming in 2004. Weller will play four more forest dates this summer.<br />

The ONLY book in the world solely dedicated to <b>The Style Council </b>is <b>Mr. Cool's Dream</b>. We've been reviewing a copy here at PWNews and, quite simply, we can't recommend it enough. The book has been a passion project by <b>Iain Munn</b>, who has been vigilant in carrying on the legacy of Paul Weller's post Jam project that often gets lost in the shadow of <b>The Jam</b>. But there can be no doubt! There are fans out there as passionate as those hard core Jam fans for what many still affectionately call, <b>"probably the best pop group in the world!"</b></div>

<i>I have been interested in The Style Council going back as far as my musical memory will take me. I was 13 in 1983, Long Hot Summer it was. I was also delighted to discover Dee C Lee on The Wham Fantastic album which my sister played continuously. Great LP that. I wasn't a Jam fan, I remember being in Austria with the school in 1986 and the guys were singing "Eton Rifles" after I'd brought the German import/special sleeve of "Walls Come Tumbling Down" in a local shop - you know I'd never heard "Eton Rifles" at that point. Not too difficult back in those days for entire bands and albums would pass you by. Though I did eventually move into their back catalogue, The Jam didn't do it for me, be it youth, lack of money, I don't know. I moved into Animal Nightlife, Working Week, Everything But The Girl and the little Jazz room they used to have in Virgin Megastores, behind a glass wall. All these £3 Blue Note samplers. Brilliant. I do find it strange when The Style Council are still battered in 2014, just for being The Style Council.</i></div>

<i>It is well documented but I wrote the book after starting to do free work for people in response to a letter published in Record Collector early 90's challenging them to a wrong article on the final TSC concert in July, 1989. From there, Dennis Munday was in touch and we worked on a few official releases - the live CD and the 1998 box set where he kindly secured the first recognised release of Mr Cool's Dream - if you could call jt that. It was a paper thin booklet, about 4,000 words. Very early, but grey potential. I know the guy who sold it on Ebay for £121. Sure he owes me a pint from that. In 2014 the words total 108,000 so its come a long way. </i></div>

<i>To be honest everything. The look, the feel, the smell even. New & enhanced information too. It was a very easy option just to reprint the hardback, but every issue must evolve. I have many people who buy every release and for them you've got to do something different - and I am sure this has been achieved with this release. I actually pasted the hardback into 'notepad' to purposely lose all formatting & force me to revisit every single word. It is a 360 page heavyweight and every page is gloss (books normally have 8 with photos) so it honestly smells like one of those Next or Argos catalogues! </i></div>

<i>I also licenced The Style Council font, got permission for the first time from Polydor and Simon Halfon to reproduce the artwork and sleeves. Got lots of new forewords, including Hollywood star Martin Freeman, a massive Style Council fan. The format is now less of a diary too and centres around each release and key events, though none of the content is lost. The sleeve uses an image of all 4 for the 1st time. Not easy to get all of them together with permission to use it on a book sleeve, 1985 blazers, Levi's, the ultimate line up. It has had great reviews from the pre orders on its look and quality. Big thank you to W&G Baird in Belfast for an amazing printing service & meeting my many demands. </i></div>

<i>Haha. Yes! I'm not the authority and I hate to think if I didn't start Mr Cool's Dream there still wouldn't be a book on The Style Council. They'd be dead and buried, the forgotten years for sure. I couldn't let that happen. Is there more to discover? Well, there's an interesting quote in the book I got from Paul in December there, I took it with a pinch of salt, but both he and I without saying anything directly that..... Erm, I guess, owning a studio back then ensured every day was a potential recording day and not just for dreaming or eating chips. Sadly, there isn't any drive coming from the record label towards The Style Council, and as Paul is successful as a solo musician, he doesn't need to be bothering about digging through tapes 30 years old. </i></div>

<i>I know release wise it is still the Jam who make the money, so for now, I guess, we wait. I was genuinely disappointed when I got a reply from Universal to say there were no plans for a deluxe edition of Cafe Blue - then a few weeks later the Jam vinyls were announced. I don't know what it costs to licence/create CD's but I'm positive any deluxe Style Council CD would make money for them. I wish I had the money to licence a release and I'm sure Mick, Steve and Dee can also contribute a lot of music. Mick alone must have hundreds of ditties & Hammond swirls on cassette. But they are all busy, still recording, still touring. I'm hoping they'll all knock on my door with a bag of tapes to sift through when the time is right. The book does touch on some unreleased songs mentioned by Tracey Thorn, Camille Hinds, the aborted sleeves, etc. Sorry, thats another long answer. I shoulda just said 'yes.'</i></div>

<i>Well as it stands today the 2014 paperback is showing at £152,000+ on Amazon. I kid you not. I've no idea why they do this, but yes the book has sold for over £100. Not to me though.

<i>Due to high costs I only ever print enough copies to last a year, then that's it. The 2014 paperback WILL sell out. The lucky 100 who pre-ordered with the numbered book and Kristyna Myles "Paris Match" CD should then see their £9 investment turn into a good profit. I hope no one sells the CD/Book combo. I did it in a way where they didn't have any idea there was a gift, so pre orders went to the fans who really wanted it - a full year before I released it. Kristyna's version of "The Paris Match" is stunning, and if there ever was a The Style Council charity re-union, then that is one special guest that should be on the bill. </i></div>

<i>Yeah, spoil it, might make people buy it to participate. Page 5 challenge is something I thought of. I haven't seen it anywhere else.

<i>Living nearly 500 miles away from London it is extremely difficult for me and trips need to be made down south to secure the signatures. I know of only TWO hardback books with all 4 signatures - and you know what, Simon (we will call him that) only got Paul's signature in Belgium last week! He is kicking himself for not having the 2014 edition with him. The other one is mine. There are a few with 3 signatures. It was not easy. I got Steve at Trio Valore in Edinburgh in 2008, Paul at SECC Glasgow when I asked the SECC manager to tell Paul I was here (it worked!). Dee I got at the Deep MO gig. It was a funny one. There is a VIP room in Dingwalls guarded by security. I asked on 3 different occasions and he said no. I went up again and he said, you know what in you go, you seem to know what you want. Dee was brilliant that night and i've kept in touch with her since. Then as I was leaving, at the bar talking to Billy Chapman was Mick Talbot! Two signatures in one night. Book completed.</i></div>

<i>There is a new challenge in the 2014 paperback. I am luck to already have Dee's. I will be meeting Steve at a Trio Valore gig this weekend and hope to meet Paul in Liverpool in July, which leaves a bit of negotiating to get Mick, but hopeful i'll have all 4 by end of 2014.

Steve Pilgrim is the drummer with Paul Weller’s band and is one of the founding members of the charity Be One Percent. Paul has been supporting this charity for a while now and when booking his summer touring, he thought it would be good to do a small show in Liverpool to help raise much needed funds for the charity.<br /><br />Be One Percent is a network of individuals who commit to giving 1% of their income each month to help the world’s poorest people. It’s a simple idea. By giving as a network we create a powerful and effective fundraising mechanism, which means that together, we make a greater impact for some of the worlds poorest communities.

<br />
Although there's been no official word about this release, we've seen several <b>Record Store Day 2014</b> lists that include a 45rpm from Paul titled, <b><i>"A Brand New Toy" b/w "Landslide."</i></b> The 7 inch single looks to be extremely limited as the distribution number is <b>only 750</b>. We're also assuming this is a UK only release. If you're a serious collector, you'll no doubt want to consider heading out to your local shop on 19 April and securing your very own copy.<br />

We're been informed there's some great images of <b>Paul Weller </b>with the <b>Ocean Colour Scene</b> lads in this new book <b>Soul Driver</b> by Tony Briggs and Ian Snowball chronicling, probably the greatest era of the band, 1995-1999. Out in March. Looks like a good one! All print sales in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you didn't know, the tune called <i>"Soul Driver" </i>was written for and dedicated to Paul. </div>

<br />
<b>REAL STARS ARE RARE is a new menswear label from Paul Weller. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The collection has been designed by Paul in a collaboration with <b>Phil Bickley</b>, owner of Tonic, a menswear store in West London.<br />
<br />
The Autumn/ Winter 2014 launch collection includes tailoring, knitwear, shirting and accessories.<br />
<br />
There’s no ‘considered demographic’. REAL STARS ARE RARE is for men of all ages. Great care has gone into sourcing the best possible materials and fabrics. The collection works together, crossing over between formalwear and sharp casuals. There’s fluidity here. It’s all about movement and texture.<br />
<br />
We’ve got 33 gauge wool Merino knits and super fine kid mohair jackets and trousers that feel as special as they look. Our tight, considered colour palette features purple, indigo, plum and bright blues<br />
alongside rich, chocolate tones and cool greys.<br />
<br />
REAL STARS ARE RARE has been in the planning, you could say, for forty years. Ever since a kid from Woking first cupped his hands and peered through the window of Flaks’ boutique in the late sixties, enchanted with the fashion and the faces making waves on the local scene.<br />
<br />
That kid, Paul Weller, grew up and became a musician, a songwriter and frontman. Many claim his is the voice of a generation.<br />
<br />
One thing’s certain; Paul never lost his passion for image and style.<br />
<br />
It was at Tonic, a menswear store on the Portobello Road, shooting the breeze about clothes, that an idea was born. The idle talk became a bigger conversation, shared thinking around a new collection of menswear, classic and timeless. Sharp tailoring, quality knits, the perfect shirt...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was only a matter of time. REAL STARS ARE RARE was inevitable.</div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>Paul Weller</b><br />
“The name comes from a line I heard somewhere: ‘REAL STARS ARE RARE... they only come out at night.’ Make of that what you will but I like it and there’s a lot of truth in it!”<br />
<br />
“Through music and clothes I was able to peek at new worlds and ways of thinking, imagining,<br />
new prospects and possibilities.”<br />
<br />
“Clothes and music, music and clothes, for me they go hand-in-hand. They’ve helped shape who I am.”<br />
<br />
“Creativity doesn’t always have an intellectual side. Often it just feels right. When we considered colours I often found myself thinking ‘yes that just works’."<br />
<br />
“I wouldn’t buy a coat because it happens to be cold. I’ll buy it because I love it.”<br />
<br />
“We’ve got big ideas and plans. This Autumn/Winter launch collection is just the start.”<br />

<b>A surprise appearance of Woking’s very own Modfather at a Steve Brookes charity gig had fans roaring with absolute glee.</b><br />
<br />
Brookes, former guitarist with The Jam, kept the audience enthralled during his Woking Hospice gig on Saturday at the HG Wells Conference & Events Centre, performing songs intertwined with his memories of the formation of the legendary band.<br />
<br />
Scribblings of songs written in lined exercise books were projected onto a screen on stage, along with rarely seen photos of The Jam and even their first business card.<br />
<br />
Fans listened to old recordings of Weller singing hits including Elvis Presley’s Blue Suede Shoes and Neil Sedaka's Oh! Carol.<br />
<br />
Whispered rumours among the seated audience confirmed Weller was in the house and the fans went wild when he walked out from behind display boards by the stage.<br />
