Paul Weller Plays Exclusive Gig For The BBC!

With the end of the US tour and Paul taking a little break, we figured we would too. But we're back and looking forward to bringing you all the news, reviews, etc. as Paul finishes out the rest of the year with several tour stops and some new releases.

On Saturday evening Paul played a set at the BBC Television Studios recorded for a later broadcast. Highlights were guest appearances from Graham Coxon and Gem Archer as well as airings of songs from 22 Dreams not yet played live including Black River, Where'er Ye Go, and One Bright Star. There was also a string section and brass to accompany the band.

For an excellent review of the evening please stop by the blog of All Mod Cons.

Fresh back from a short tour of the US and Japan, Paul Weller talks about the 30th anniversary of The Jam's sixth and final studio album, The Gift, and where he's at right now. Repost From The Huffington Post By: Jason Holmes Paul Weller bounds into his chair, an electronic cigarette gripped in his hand. We're in the BBC's Studio Three in Maida Vale. Visibly calm owing to post-tour exhaustion and a morning trip to the gym, Weller is here to be interviewed by John Wilson for BBC Radio 4's Mastertapes series. "Back in those days, bands put out an album a year, you toured with it for a year, then you went back in the studio and repeated the process. Looking back, I was glad I experienced that pressure. It helped me refine my craft and find myself as a writer. It kept me on my toes," says Weller, Gibson acoustic on knee. "It wasn't a treadmill, it was just what bands did back then.

As a result, casual listeners tend to identify Weller with the kind of dad-friendly trad-rock that blights record store shelves every time Father’s Day rolls around. However, with 2008’s 22 Dreams and now Wake Up the Nation, fans are being reacquainted with Weller the innovator.
