<p>Join me for the announcement of Paul Weller: Dancing Through the Fire: The Authorised Oral History by Dan Jennings</p><br><p>The groundbreaking oral history on one of the most legendary musicians of all time – Paul Weller</p><br><p>‘Nearly 50 years in music? How is that possible? When Dan mentioned that he’d interviewed over 250 people for this, I didn’t even know that I knew that many people… but he’s done it in a way that shows that it’s more than just about me, it’s the story of everyone who was there along the way’ Paul Weller</p><br><p>Across musical history, certain artists have transcended their craft to become cultural icons, leaving an indelible mark on the world of sound and style. Paul Weller, the legendary British musician, singer and songwriter, stands among the select few whose influence spans generations. His enduring popularity, traversing the explosive energy of The Jam to the sophisticated sounds of The Style Council and a prolific solo career spanning over thirty years, underscores the timeless appeal of his work. Weller also holds a unique position in music history: he shares the rare distinction with Lennon and McCartney as one of the few artists to achieve Number 1 albums in five consecutive decades.</p><br><p>Dancing Through the Fire explores the fascinating narrative of Paul Weller’s musical career, weaving together never-before-told stories, intimate insights, and perspectives from the man himself and those who have been integral to his remarkable journey.</p><br><p>With unique access to his inner circle – including family, friends, bandmates, producers, and long-time collaborators – award-winning broadcaster and journalist Dan Jennings weaves together over 200 hours of conversations, allowing exclusive access to the man behind the music, including his unparalleled drive, creative struggles and personal triumphs that have shaped his iconic career and legacy.</p><p>Endlessly candid, insightful and definitive in its approach, Dancing Through the Fire captures the essence of Weller’s musical evolution through the voices of those who know him best.</p><br><p>Dan Jennings is a journalist, former radio presenter, and multi-award-winning content creator. His acclaimed Paul Weller Fan Podcast, Desperately Seeking Paul, debuted in December 2020, and featured 180 in-depth interviews, culminating in a two-hour conversation with Weller himself. The series’ success led to Dan’s involvement in the official marketing of Paul’s seventeenth solo studio album, 66, and a nomination for Best Music Podcast at the 2024 Independent Podcast Awards. Dancing Through the Fire is his first book.</p><hr><p style=’color:grey; font-size:0.75em;‘> Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.</p>

Hi folks,
For those of you that missed the announcement this week…My book will be published on 11th September ( Nicky Weller / Mick Talbot’s Birthday for you fact fans!) – fully authorised oral history from the early days in Woking to now ( and in fact, the future, but that’s a whole other note )
A labour of love for the past 18 months ( nearly 5 years if you include the podcast ) – it’s a mammoth project ( 750+ pages ) and a beautiful hardback published by Constable from Little, Brown.
I explain more on the latest podcast.
Thanks for your support.
Please do help to spread the word in the Weller community.Dan

Habe es auch gesehen/gehört. Wahrscheinlich das neue Covers-Album. Vorfreude/Erwartung bewegt sich im mittleren Bereich, aber vielleicht ist das ja auch gut, dann ist das Potential positiv überrascht zu werden größer!

"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered." - George Best --- Dienstags und donnerstags, ab 20 Uhr, samstags ab 20.30 Uhr: Radio StoneFMJetzt ein weiterer Schnipsel und am Mittwoch gibt es die Auflösung. Klingt super homogen und eher rootslastig. Keine Experimente. Von einem weitern Covers Album, wusste ich bisher nichts.
