The Style Council
I'm often asked what life was like as a sax player with Paul Weller's The Style Council.
All I can really reply is that it was a balance of roughly equal amounts of hard work and fun. It's hard to believe that more than 40 years have passed since this period in my life.
The definitive history of the band is told nowhere better than in Iain Munn's book - The Style Council: Mr Cool's Dream. I made some small contributions to the updated paperback version.
And for anyone ready to watch some videos from 40 or so years ago, here are some links:
My Ever Changing Moods live on The Tube, November 1983
My Ever Changing Moods on Top of the Tops, 16 February 1984
My Ever Changing Moods on Saturday Superstore, 18 February 1984
Headstart for Happiness on Saturday Superstore, 18 February 1984
The documentary 'Long Hot Summers: the story of the Style Council' is on Sky in the UK from time to time, but the trailer itself is interesting. I made a tiny contribution.
There is also an interesting episode of the 'Desperately Seeking Paul' from April 2021 where I was interviewed.
