Paul Weller - Live at the Bath Forum, 17th November 2021

As we’ve learnt over the last couple of years, it’s so easy to take things in life for granted.

Some things are just there, omnipresent throughout one’s life, barely noticed by some, like the company of a friend or a well-cooked meal. And Paul Weller.

During the lockdown he released his fifteenth and sixteenth solo albums, at least one of which is a worthy contender for his best solo effort. Such is the man’s prolificity that there were few eyebrows raised. It’s just what he does.

That’s as maybe, but with the cancellation of the On Sunset tour (last year) and the addition of the songs from Fat Pop Vol. 1, this lifelong touring musician was sure to feel the loss more than most, so this tour is largely about making up for lost time.

Weller’s response? A 35-song set spanning his solo career, sprinkled with some select cuts from his pre-1990 work. Or, in his own words: ‘We’ve got so many fucking songs to play you.’
