This event has now passed
It’s been over 20 years since the coolest, most stylish and arguably influential man in British rock has ventured down under, but August sees Paul Weller making a long overdue, much anticipated return to these shores. Bursting onto the music scene in 1977 as leader singer of The Jam, Paul Weller fronted the most popular British band of the punk era, influencing legions of English rockers ranging from Oasis to Ocean Colour Scene.

Between their 1977 debut single release “In The City” to their break up in 1982 The Jam charted 18 consecutive Top 40 singles in the UK, including four #1 hits “Going Underground”, “Start”, “Town Called Malice” and their last single release “Beat Surrender”.

Disbanding The Jam at the end of 1982, Weller explored his interest in a wider range of musical genres when he teamed up with Mick Talbot to form The Style Council in 1983. Unveiling this new musical diversity with The Style Council’s first single “Speak Like A Child”, with its strong soul influence, subsequent singles such as “Money Go Round”, “My Ever Changing Moods”, “Shout To The Top”, “Walls Come Tumbling Down”, “Long Hot Summer” & “Have You Ever Had It Blue” stomp, groove and sashay their way through pop to jazz to soul and R&B.

With the demise of The Style Council in 1989, Paul Weller withdrew from the public eye for a couple of years before once again returning to prominence with two of his most lauded, critically acclaimed and popular releases – 1993’s Wild Wood and 1995’s Stanley Road.

As one of Britain’s most intriguing artists Paul Weller has continued to add to a songbook to rival any of his peers with the sheer scope of his musical adventurism.
