Paul Weller

Paul Weller hosted a guest show on 14 May 2021. Paul Weller has been played on NTS in shows including Soul in Paradise w/ Jamma Dee, featured first on 17 May 2012. Songs played include You're Gonna Miss Your Candy Man, Kosmos (SXDUB 2000) and You Do Something To Me.

Paul Weller (born 25 May 1958) is an English singer / songwriter and leader of two successful bands: The Jam and The Style Council. In England, he is recognized as something of a national institution yet, because much of his songwriting is rooted in English culture, he has remained essentially a national, rather than an international, star.

Wellers 17th studio album "66" is set to be released on 24 May 2024. The title is a reference to his 66th birthday, just a day after the release.

Born John William Weller in Stanley Road, Woking, he was also a central figure in the Mod revival. As the leader of the Jam, Paul Weller fronted the most popular British band of the punk era, influencing legions of English rockers that ranged from his mod-revival contemporaries to the Smiths in the '80s and Oasis in the '90s. During the final days of the Jam, he developed a fascination with Motown and soul, which led him to form the sophisti-pop group the Style Council in 1983. As the Style Council's career progressed, Weller's interest in soul developed into an infatuation with jazz-pop and house music, which eventually led to gradual erosion of his audience — by 1990, he couldn't get a record contract in the UK, where he had previously been worshipped as a demi-god. As a solo artist, Weller returned to soul music as an inspiration, cutting it with the progressive, hippie tendencies of Traffic. Weller's solo records were more organic and rootsier than the Style Council, which helped him regain his popularity within Britain. By the mid-'90s, he had released three successful albums which were both critically-acclaimed and massively popular in England, where contemporary bands like Ocean Colour Scene were citing him as an influence. Just as importantly, many observers, while occasionally criticizing the trad-rock nature of his music, acknowledged that Weller was one of the few rock veterans that had managed to stay vital within the second decade of his career.
