- An exclusive 2 hour conversation with Paul Weller.
Recorded at Black Barn Studio on November 20th 2023.
I’m Dan Jennings and ten years ago I gave up my life’s dream and career as a radio presenter with one big regret…
Never getting to interview my hero… the legendary singer-songwriter and musician - Paul Weller…
This podcast exists purely to solve that issue…
Welcome to the final episode of Desperately Seeking Paul….
Can't wait, I have never known PW to be more relaxed in interviews, these past few years have been a joy for his fans. Dan, your enthusiasm, your genuine interest, your love of the music, your personality, has made these podcasts absolutely wonderful.
He used to look like he hated interviews well I'm sure he did
@user-qw1tr1bn3h Agree, with someone like Dan, he knows it's the genuine love of the music, the real interest in the song writing process, with all Dan's interviews, his knowledge, his personality, and easy manner make for great listening.
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 🇬🇧🛵🌻🍵💗
Paul Weller “it’s not like I’m a genius or something” you are mate !!!!!!
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.
This man is a moden day Mozart. Im 62 now, been into is music since the 70s . Sound track too my life. (GENIUS!!)
this is one of the best interviews with Paul I've ever seen. Brilliant.
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
Paul‘s an absolute legend and still going so strong! Great guy!
The Modfather and the Podfather, wonderful.
Thanks Dan.
Thanks pal
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.
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.
I genuinely think this is the best interview that I've seen with Paul, and i'm really pleased for you Dan, because it's a fitting finale for the wonderful 3 years of your amazing podcasts. Maximum respect. 👏👏
Been following Paul for 40 years ❤
Restraining order imminent
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.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
Great interview. So good to see Paul so relaxed and at ease with everything. Thanks for the music Paul...
Absolutely brilliant.
What a find! I am late to this but thoroughly enjoyed your interview with Paul. As others have noted, probably one of the best conducted interviews I've seen/heard. Thank you, it gave me both inspiration and hope!
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.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks mate
Me again TREES is the best song from weller is probably my favourite I would say song but it’s 3 masterpieces in one
Could it even be 5 masterpieces in one
Great interview about a great man. And thank you for listening and letting him speak. Many interviewers don’t.
Thanks pal

Many thanks! Cheers mate
Brilliant! Just love Paul Weller ❤
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.
Exceptional pod, Dan. Delighted for ya. Great way to complete it.
Great interview my friend 👌👍I first seen Paul on the bucket and spade tour in Bridlington when I was 10 with my sister he’s the greatest
Thank you Dan!! 🥰 As usual, wonderful interview!
I saw Paul at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles in the early 90’s and scheduled to see him there this September. I can’t f@#%ing wait!!
Paul’s collection has meant the world to me ❤️ (I know you all get it👌🏽).
Thank you Paul for all you’ve given (and continue to give) the world 🙏🏼xxx
He is the man always
He’s looking bloody well.
I forgot to say am a guitar player and believe me mr weller is a grade A player I honestly think he’s such a great songwriter his playing doesn’t get enough love 👌👌
Fantastic Interview Thanks 😊 👍
Brilliant interview. Very relaxed, great insights, great conversation. Love it
There are these rare interviews where Paul seems happy and relaxed and they feel like precious little golden nuggets. I bit like that Times podcast from a decade or so ago with Pete Pephides, back in 2005, I think. Great interview, thank you.
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.
Thanks so much. That means alot. Cheers.
Saw Paul at Edinburgh castle last Saturday, pissed it down but who cared I loved it, you still deliver Mr Weller don’t doubt that.
Brilliant night loved it ❤
@@denisebaines9816 it certainly was 👋🏻
I have to say, I partly disagree. My sister and I went and enjoyed the music very much. However, the foul language, repeated and often, was completely unnecessary. Given that they had highlighted the young boy on somebody's shoulders and told him the song they had completed was for him - so they knew there were children in the audience - constant swearing, including the 'c' word - was totally unnecessary. Many people sitting around us also said exactly the same thing. I also didn't appreciate the pro-Gaza rant. Some people might think that's petty, and somebody accused me of disagreeing with him. I pointed out that whether I agreed or not wasn't the point. Rather, it was that I had paid to hear the music not a political statement foisted on me.
@@Havana-man I guess he’s using a platform, I’ve personally been threatening to be kicked off the platform because of my rants on Gaza. But yeah no need for the swearing , not to that extent.
@@russellnewton6660 I think the problem with a lot of situations nowadays - the US president, Gaza, trans, etc - is that debates are so polarised that no matter what point anyone of us makes, there's almost no room for debate, the "other side" simply says we're wrong. None of his histrionics on the night would make me enjoy his music any less, as I have been since the Jam days, but what we got was unrequired and not well received. Take care.
Great conversation Paul 🙏🐦
Thank you Dan.
I've never seen an interview with Paul before ,I always heard he was a nice man ,a cool dude 😎. He is all of those things .Thanks for this .
So glad to see he is in such a great place. Has taken the chances and come out on top. Been a fan since 16. The real deal.
Some people make their own luck.
Always felt kinship with Paul since around 77.
Still inspirational
Brilliant thank you ❤
Generation X
A way of life.
Top interview..
Thanks
Fantastic relaxed interview good work Dan
"I don't know how I did it I just did" THAT IS TALENT.
Obviously hard work too but a lot of people work hard.
😊
Brilliant interview. Well done 👌🏻
Beautiful job, Dan! So easy going and informal. Just a couple of dads having a chat. Congratulations! 💯
Cheers Dan, you're a diamond geezer 👍
Top man ❤
Brilliant artist.
You've pulled out all the stops for this podcast. Well done Dan
Brilliant interview
Really loving this and would be great to see it released as a video (or whatever we have now!). PW just seems so normal/laid back and honest which is great to see. I have always thought he is honest and genuine but sometimes a bit awkward, early morning TV interviews and criticising other peoples music but hey ho, that was his passion for creative music and a bit of insecurity I think. Would love to meet the man, I think but in default continue to love his music, his ethics and work ethic. Looking forward to fat Pop Volume 2!
I love the way he always rubs his top lip, been doing it for years and years, as a woman, I notice these things :} Brilliant interview, has become less awkward over the years, a man content with his lot.
A great podcast to saver as l move around my home doing mundane things🤣
Top interview.
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.
Jah!
That first solo album is a very special record no songs i wanna skip
Great insight interview, 22 Dreams, the second coming of The Style Council lol
Brilliant interview, great stuff 👌
Love on sunset if u do mediation with its just unreal beautiful
Excellent!
Wellers looking fresh he been on the wim hof breathing
Well done Dan 😉
I read somewhere that Weller punched Simon Ritchie (aka Sid Vicious) in the late 70s......I've always wondered about that story but never heard it from Weller....I'd also like to know if the sales of his older records has increased in the USA...I know he said he never put the work in across the pond but I'm seeing a few reaction vids to his live vids from americans lately
Cool
PW speaks very different in 2024 ‘Man’ or is it ‘Mun’ ..?
Great interview
Strange there was no mention of Bruce Foxton or Rick Buckler in the entire interview, despite discussing The Jam in detail
Not really. Literally hundreds of incidents of him saying “we” when talking about the band.
@@PaulWellerFanPodcast What I mean is that all the other key figures from that period were discussed in detail except for his ACTUAL band mates. Perhaps the break up was particularly acrimonious? Perhaps they’ve never been on speaking terms since? That may explain it. As a massive fan from that era, It would’ve been fascinating to have heard Paul’s maturer perspective on this today. Brilliant interview otherwise!
Sorry @MattMick 54:17> he references Bruce in respect of getting push back over shit tracks for album 3 and Bruce stepping up ("Bless 'im")
I swear the Modfava is looking much weller than he did five years ago? Does anyone have any insights in to his diet and exercise regime?
Gave up drinking ?
@@nasdkhan254 that'll help
Evening
If the British honour's system wasn't so discredited, this man would be knighted for his lifelong contribution to British music. (He'd probably turn it down, though.)
I’m sure he has done from what he’s said in the past.
See his lads got more sense! 😂❤
my top 10 Weller songs:Down in the tube station, Town called Malice, Butterfly Collector, Eton Rifles,Going underground,Tales from the Riverbank,Thats Entertainment,Man in the Corner shop. Walls come tumbling down, Changingman,
Stunning interview
