EP01 - Stuart Deabill - Soul Deep (Adventures with The Style Council) - "Getcha mining soul deep - with a lesson in history..."

Episode 1: Stuart Deabill on Soul Deep, The Style Council and more…




Stuart Deabill was (and always will be!)
Guest Number 1 on The Paul Weller Fan
Podcast.


I’ll be forever grateful to him for joining the ride so early on,
when even I wasn’t really sure how it would all work out or what
it really was.


He shares a great love for The Jam, The Style Council and Paul
Weller Solo and has been hugely supportive of this whole podcast
venture too (even bringing me to tears when he gave a shout out
on stage at a recent Style Council themed event in London!).


Stuart has suggested great guests, hooked me up with his
connections, emailed me with ideas, and sends regular notes
sharing his love of the podcast and how much he has enjoyed the
amazing guests that are coming on board. He’s also the one that
suggested and set up our first live show at London’s Cockpit
Theatre in March 2022.


Stuart’s story is an interesting one too. A Watford-based author
who came to publishing in very recent times.


His first 3 books were co-written with Ian Snowball as part of a
series called ‘Personal Situations ‘.


It all kicked off with Thick as Thieves: Personal
Situations with The Jam which reflected the
aspirations and celebrations of growing up in the 1970’s with
rare photographs and sharp insights on The Jam.


Two other books, Supersonic (about
Oasis) and From Ronnie’s To
Ravers (London’s iconic nightlife) followed,
sharing fans experiences of gigs, nightclubs, music, fashions,
alongside the major players involved in each subject.


His long standing obsession with music, football (a fellow
Chelsea Fan!) and casual attire, has enabled Stuart to dress
well, have good ears and a foul mouth for the best part of 45
years now.


In our podcast chat we took a dive into Soul
Deep his 2021 publication on The Style
Council…
