Paul Weller Interview - The Story of 66

The acclaimed Paul Weller Fan Podcast is back with a
bang!


In 2020, my love of Paul Weller’s music led me to create the
‘Desperately Seeking Paul’ podcast series, an adventure that
culminated in an unforgettable encounter with the man himself at
the end of last year.


The thrill of finally interviewing my hero, after 25 years in
radio and a three-year podcast journey, is still fresh. The
experience was nothing short of magical, and I am incredibly
grateful for every moment of it. But as they say, the show must
go on, and I am beyond excited to announce what’s coming next.


Last November, I was given the extraordinary honour of receiving
an advance copy of Paul’s highly anticipated new album, “66”. And
let me tell you, it’s another absolute corker. I’ve spent
countless hours immersing myself in the rich tapestry of sounds
and stories that make up this incredible LP.


Now, I’m thrilled to share that our journey together continues
with a brand new podcast series. This time, we’re diving deep
into “66”, exploring each track, the creative process behind the
album, and the magic that makes Paul Weller such a remarkable
artist.


Our first episode kicks off with an exclusive interview with Paul
Weller himself.


Imagine, sitting down in his Black Barn studio, to discuss his
latest work, track by track. It’s an opportunity I could only
dream of when I started this podcast series, and now it’s a
reality.
You just have to do your best and what you believe in, and then
you put it out into the world and hope other people relate to it or
like it. I don’t think, what did we do on the last album? or what
did I do 20, 30, 40 years ago? I’m not interested in that, it’s
only what I’m doing now…PAUL WELLER

But the excitement doesn’t stop there. A week after the album is
released – you’ll hear a special boxset of podcast episodes with
key figures involved in the making of “66” who will offer their
own unique insights, adding depth and colour to our exploration
of Paul’s 17th solo studio album (and his 28th in total).


You’ll hear from band members, Jacko Peake, Tom Van Heel, Jake
Fletcher and Ben Gordelier, producer/engineer Charles Rees,
collaborators including Tom Doyle (White Label), Christophe
Vaillant (Le SuperHomard), and Steve Brookes (original member of
The Jam).


Contributors such as Josh McClorey, Steve Trigg, Sumudu
Jayatilaka, Louise Marshall, Britten Sinfonia and Hannah Peel
will also offer their unique perspectives on the making of the
album.


It’s hard to put into words just how humbled and thrilled I am to
be a part of the countdown for the release of “66”.
