Joe Beckett - Percussionist, Paul Weller Movement 1990

Percussionist Joe Beckett share his stories from
inside a pivotal, often-overlooked chapter in Paul Weller’s
career: the Paul Weller Movement. Joe recalls the unique
circumstances that landed him in the band, from chance club gigs
to a spontaneous audition at Solid Bond Studios, and the creative
camaraderie that followed.


He takes us on the road in 1990, from a packed Dingwalls debut
surrounded by mods and scooters, across Europe and the UK, to the
final triumphant night at London’s Town & Country Club, later
immortalized by the BBC.


Along the way, Joe details the evolution of new tracks like
'Kosmos' and 'New Thing,' reflects on the enduring power of Paul
Weller’s work ethic, and relives the camaraderie and chaos that
defined life as a working musician in a high-pressure,
high-energy band finding its feet.
