Going to see Paul Weller tonight...

[Fabien Barthez]

Setting off up the M6 to Blackpool () to see one of the best and longlasting, prolific singer/songwriters this country has ever produced.

It is at the Empress Ballroom. I saw The White Stripes there a few years ago. I believe the 'Jolene' video was shot from that gig.

So, Ill have a gig review much later on. In the mean time, i'm sure there are a few people who are really too sure, or actually don't know who he is, so here's some light reading/listening/watching options to pass the time and educate you....

I even found a full acoustic gig. You should really check this out, its streamed and the quality is superb.
