offers a unique behind-the-scenes look into the making of his
17th solo studio album.
In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with the
multi-talented Hannah Peel, who played a pivotal role in the

During our conversation, Hannah shared her experiences working
with Paul Weller and the Britten Sinfonia, revealing the
intricate details of the album's orchestration and the
collaborative spirit that permeated the project.
One of the standout moments of our discussion was Hannah's
recounting of the 66 sessions at Abbey Road Studios. Known for
its rich history and unparalleled acoustics, Abbey Road provided
the perfect studio for the recording of the orchestra. Hannah
described the thrill of working with the Britten SInfonia, an
orchestra renowned for its adventurous playing and support of
young talent. The collaboration resulted in beautifully arranged
layers that add a unique richness to Paul Weller's music on 66.
Hannah also touched on the various tracks she worked on,
including "My Best Friend's Coat," "Rise Up Singing," "I Woke
Up," and "Burnout." Each song allowing Hannah to showcase her
exceptional skills in orchestration and arrangement. For
instance, "I Woke Up" brought Hannah to tears with its beauty,
while "Burnout" required a delicate balance of low-end strings
and brass to achieve its hauntingly powerful sound.
