Fabulous interview... but, bless her cotton socks, Tracie's memory gets a bit sketchy around the 50' mark, as she always seems to forget that from 1988-89 she was a member of 'The Way'.... I was 19 when she joined and, being a doey-eyed fan since 82 (thanks to 'Beat Surrender' on TOTPs, which I videoed and watched repeatedly till the tape wore out), I and the rest of the band were ecstatic when we met at Hard Rock Cafe in London for a meal, and she agreed to come up from Chelmsford to Mexborough every week to rehearse. We almost got signed to EMI/Go DIscs but it wasn't to be, and it all culminated with a performance on Yorkshire Television's 'Calendar' show (which I'm currently remastering and will stick on here once it's done). She actually got married whilst she was still in the band - I went to the reception with my gf - and it was very sudden, with the move to Solihull ending what was a great live band. Tracie and I still keep in touch, and I'll always remember those days. She inspired our trombonist (Andy Cato) and bassist (Jonathan White) to seek stardom and conjure up Groove Armada, and they've always asked how she is. Tracie's a woman made of steel, intelligence and wit. Though I haven't seen her in person for 32 years I love her very much. Hope I get the chance to catch her on stage singing again one day.

Cool Clean & Hard:-)

Paul mentioning " all mod cons " i wonder what the so called 💩 songs sounded like???

An absolute joy, indeed. Also, first time listener so I guess you've quite a back catalogue here Dan.

What a great pod cast. 😊

Was the best, is the best, will always be the best.

ETON Rifles and When You're Young were out Something Else limited run Saturday Afternoon. along with Joy Devision!!!

COMFORTABLY NUMB? YOU HAVIN’ THAT?

Noel is such a brilliant interviewee. So entertaining.You don’t really have to ask him anything, just let him go.

Just saw Paul at his first North American show in NJ. In a live show, he still has the chops and the magic in way missing from many other dinosaurs his age. It must have something to do with the drive and constant hard work.

Great interview Dan. ....!! It's been a long time coming...!! Thanks so much for the quality questions and time spent preparing well thought out mate.... I possibly heard through the grapevine you may accompany Paul on the US tour.…... Hope it happens for you look forward to meeting you.... . Cheers from Michigan 🇬🇧🛵🌻🍵💗

Excellent!

Talking about 70's music,i'm two years older than paul,when i was thirteen i was buying james brown,at that time he used to bring out a new single every week,i lived in chelsea until 2006,the only record shop that sold that stuff was in kings road,i loved staple singers,bobby byrd and i loved motown,still do,i remembered when they came over and toured,like about ten acts,they loved it here because they could stay in hotels with white people,and how the crowds were white and black all together,that would not happen inn america,that was very sad.crazy that was still going over there in the 70's.

Brilliant interview. Very real and revealing of his musical work. Paul feels very comfortable you can tell. I love how Paul is always honest and accurate about his thoughts.

Fantastic Interview Thanks 😊 👍

That was fantastic… lovely lady.

Absolutely brilliant. Noel's always box office, and the story about Bono was just gold and definitely typical Weller. Loved Noel's cockney accent as well. "Alright, mate!" 🤣

Best interview with Paul Weller. By the way I love the new album. Greetings from Spain

The man had a beautiful sound with the style council that I appreciate more now than I did then.

Brilliant thank you ❤

Spot on, I also followed The Paul Weller Movement. Town and Country, Town and Country 2, Kilburn, Subterania, Poole Arts Centre, Portsmouth Guildhall Brixton. Amazing times.

Absolutely brilliant.

Brilliant! Just love Paul Weller ❤

Brilliant interview. Well done 👌🏻

Great interview @1:39:56 is part of what makes me a fan of his music. There are layers that you can listen to. Alot of artists don't put much thought into textures. Artists like Paul Weller always have great players who can add their own creativty to add a great bass hook or synth part that adds to the chords and melody of a great song. I put him right up there with other artists like Prince and Stevie Wonder for those reasons.

Weller is such a talented, diverse musician. The term ‘National Treasure’ is much overused but he really is. ‘66’ is a brilliant album. I’ve been playing it incessantly- love it to bits. Sheer quality.

Cool

Will there be a book?

Brilliant artist.

These interviews and this podcast are superb. It's the Weller version of the Beatles Anthology documentary.

So interesting, what an interview. Thanks Dan & Paul

I love the fact that Paul always moves froward and that’s me a 63 year old. Don’t get me wrong, I go to Bruce Foxton gigs and I love the old stuff, but going forward is the thing for me. I saw The Nationals on the Thursday at Edinburgh castle and Paul at Edinburgh Castle on Saturday, both brilliant.

Superb Interview. Paul seems a lovely chap. 👍

Paul Weller “it’s not like I’m a genius or something” you are mate !!!!!!

Another great interview, Dan and Paul.🤩

Brilliant album! Great interview...thank you.

Eton Rifles was 1979, live on Something Else. The Jam on OGWT was 1978, playing stuff from This Is The Modern World.

This Is The Modern World is such an underrated album....Staring at a grey sky, trying to paint it blue, teenage blue...life from a window, I'm just taking in the view....Nice job Dan.

Great idea . Can't wait !

By far the best interview I’ve heard with Paul Weller. So refreshing to hear some practical well thought out questions from someone who clearly knows what he’s talking about. Not the usual topics that must bore Paul shitless! Thank you very much and we’ll done

Brilliant interview

Paul Weller, still the mod father, no one cooler, been loving his music since the 70s , The Jam were the soundtrack of my teens, he is the gift that keeps on giving, I am an avid music lover and in my sixties so have been lucky enough to appreciate a lot of bands and artists over the years, I would find it difficult to pick a top ten of favourite songs but if I did, shout to the top is in there.

I was a Jam fan from back when I was 11. This is the best Paul Weller interview I've ever come across and it's because the interviewer is a fan so he is not defensive.

Such a refreshing interview - the space and the conversation just flowed so easily. Thank you Dan for making this, to get Paul to open up in such a relaxed manner. A really special watch. Given that he fell out with Paolo Hewitt because he wrote a book about him, you might have expected him to rail against all the people who contributed towards the podcast - but he seems to have embraced this. Well done Dan.

Paul‘s an absolute legend and still going so strong! Great guy!

This man is a moden day Mozart. Im 62 now, been into is music since the 70s . Sound track too my life. (GENIUS!!)

Great interview about a great man. And thank you for listening and letting him speak. Many interviewers don’t.

What an amazing interview again Dan, i thought it was genuinely superb and a real joy to listen to. 👏👏
