Will Of The People

Product Information

The gorgeously understated music suggests getting it together in the country, but – as on Weller favourite Nick Drake’s Bryter Layter – the lyrical setting is distinctly urban. Jazz became a major influence on Weller's work during the early Style Council years, and he has been a big fan ever since, citing artists such as Lee Morgan, Jimmy Smith, John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk as favourites. Another single, the ballad "You Do Something To Me", was his second consecutive Top 10 single and reached No. We're very pleased to announce Weller is playing a special In Concert gig for BBC Radio 2 at The Radio Theatre next Thursday 14th May.

The new film from Grammy Award winner Bob Smeaton features interviews with all band members, archive footage and stories from fans. In 2007 Weller was guest vocalist on the album issue by the folk musical project the Imagined Village. A new three minute short film narrated by Weller for Channel 4 Random Acts is now available online here. Finally, we're in a position to confirm that the postponed show at Genting Arena Birmingham on March 2nd due to heavy snow, has been rescheduled to Friday 24 August 2018.As a result, he wrote the song "Bloodsports", which was included on the B-side of the Style Council's 1985 single, "Walls Come Tumbling Down". It examines the scene's attention to detail, sense of community and of course the music that soundtracked it. Weller became interested in 1960s mod culture in late 1974, particularly after hearing " My Generation" by the Who. Whoosh features four unreleased tracks including a demo of a track that Paul wrote with Noel Gallagher for The Monkees last album.

At his instigation, the Jam began wearing mohair suits onstage and he and Foxton began playing Rickenbacker guitars (as favoured by the Who and the Beatles in the mid-1960s). Paul’s new single ‘I’m Where I Should Be’, is released as a 2-track download / stream on Friday 25th September including a brand new song ‘Open Road’ as part of the package. The great Weller love song – at least until You Do Something to Me came along to compete – You’re the Best Thing is timelessly beautiful songwriting.These are dark, dark times so I was glad to hear a positive voice and vibrations in the words and a joy in the music. Pre-sale tickets for this show will be available on Thursday June 7th at 9am and general sale opens on Friday June 8th at 9am!
