EP79 - Eddie Piller - MD of Acid Jazz Records - The Modcast - ”Like a gun, gonna shoot my best shot baby”

On this episode of The Paul Weller Fan Podcast, I am joined by
another music industry legend Eddie Piller.Not only is he the
Founder & MD of the magnificent Acid Jazz Records but he's
also a Radio Presenter, Writer, DJ, Podcaster, Producer, Manager
and Festival Curator.


A legendary figure in the Mod scene and beyond, he was also the
man that Paul Weller turned to play records at his fiftieth
birthday party!.


In this episode, we kick off the conversation with his discovery
of punk and The Jam via chicken pox. Eddie would go on to see the
band over 50 times live, following them all over the country and
even overseas whilst still a teenager.


We'll hear about the mod explosion of the late 70s and 80s,
interviews with Paul, a shared love of music, clothes and Mod and
other connections over the years from the controversial King
Truman Project, to a missed opportunity to bring him to his
record label and how he secured the big one - that two part 2019
Modcast Interview with PW.
