  2. It wasn't just the fire, he had hurricane force winds to contend with also! Kings of Leon and all the other bands scheduled to perform canceled their shows, Paul was the last to play.

  3. Weller came on stage and performed with his usual gusto. The fire blazed in the distance but who cared when the mod father was in full swing - superb as usual with Craddock and the boys all having a great time!!!

    The winds were pretty scary though - the rigging dancing along with the crowd obviously terrifying the promoters. Paul was taken off at end of Eton Rifles, we all waited for him to return - unfortunately not to be! Disappointing but necessary (I think). Next day rumors were rife that Noel Gallagher was waiting in the wings to do a set with Paul - what an utter bummer, how good would that have been?

    Anyway, roll on November and Preston Guild Hall gig - happy days!!!

Paul Weller On John Lydon!

PAUL WELLER has urged fellow Brit JOHN LYDON to stop clinging to the past - because the punk icon has become the "antithesis" of JOHNNY ROTTEN. The Jam founder admits he shudders every time he sees Lydon on reality TV shows or hears of another planned Sex Pistols reunion. And he has two simple words of advice for the punk star: "Leave it." Weller says, "I don't really understand him anymore. He's become the antithesis of what he once was. Does he need the money? "Perhaps he misses the adulation, the buzz. Nostalgia has become a whole industry in itself... and I don't like it. You can never recapture what has gone." Paul Weller And John Lydon At The Mojo Awards
