EP35 - Mick Talbot - The Style Council Co-Founder - "Good Morning day, how do you do?"

Mick's Up!


My Guest is The Style Council Legend - Mick Talbot - keyboardist,
songwriter, singer, composer and record producer.


On 1st March 1983, Paul Weller officially pulled the wraps off
his new project, to be called The Style Council.


Following the split of The Jam, Paul had re-signed to Polydor as
a solo artist, and soon recruited former Merton Parkas, Dexy's
Midnight Runners and Bureau keyboardist, Mick Talbot who remained
his soul brother and sounding board for the next seven years.


We talk about performing with The Jam, forming The Style Council
and those incredible singles, EPs, albums, videos and live dates
including Tokyo, Glastonbury, Live Aid and so much more!


Post-TSC, Mick has worked with Paul on his first 3 solo albums
(Paul Weller, Wild Wood and Stanley Road) and more recently for
On Sunset (Baptiste, Village & Walkin').


You'll also find Mick's amazing musical skills on albums with
former Style Council member Steve White, under the name
Talbot/White and The Players (with the addition of former Ocean
Colour Scene bassist Damon Minchella), in the jazz/funk band The
Players.


He played keyboards in Galliano, on the 1991 Young Disciples
album Road to Freedom, and on recent LPs from Stone Foundation
and even co-wrote & produced Dexy's 2012 LP One Day I'm Going
to Soar


2020 saw him appear on the Monks Road Social album with the
likes of Dr Robert, Matt Deighton, Neil Jones and Kathryn
Williams.


My thanks to Mick for giving up his time for this very special
episode - and for Nicky Weller for helping to arrange it all.
