In this episode of The Paul Weller Fan Podcast, I'm joined by
Phil Veacock - best-known as the main arranger, musical director
and tenor saxophonist of Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues
Orchestra.Phil has multiple connections and credits with Paul
Weller with arrangements and performances on every Weller album
since 2017's A Kind Revolution, right through to 2021's number
one LP, Fat Pop (Volume 1).They'd actually played together before
then with Paul's multiple appearances on Jools Holland's TV Shows
- Later... and Hootenanny. Plus in 2012, in honour of Sir Paul
McCartney turning 70, Paul covered 'Birthday' by The Beatles and
made it available to download for one day only - as you'll hear
in our chat Phil played on that version of the song.And we
shouldn't forget the stunning cover of September in the Rain for
a Jools Holland album in the same year, for which Phil led on
arrangements working closely with Paul Weller throughout.

A huge fan of soul music - Phil has worked with THE greatest
names in the genre. Legends like: Martha Reeves and the
Vandellas, Smokey Robinson, Al Green, Pops & Mavis Staples,
Booker T, Candi Staton, Chaka Khan, George Benson, Solomon Burke,
Barry White, Sam Moore, Edwin Starr and Eddie Floyd.
