At last, I finally got to see him
I love the Leas Cliff venue so I knew the viewing would be great. It's a wide but shallow venue so you get a brilliant view wherever you are. Never been disappointed by the venue.
Then comes Mr Weller. Wow! Over 2 hours of fantastic music and he never waned once.
This was a present for my partner so it was truly wonderful Paul played Man In The Corner Shop which is my partner's favourite of the Jam tracks.
Paul and his band performed a great mixture of old and very new - one track which isn't even out in any form. A track from an up coming film was so good too.
I don't think I need say this but I will, but Paul Weller is worth his weight in gold. Go see him if you get the chance. You won't be disappointed :)

The is mod is still modern
Well, this was my first time of seeing Paul Weller live in concert , and he did,nt disappoint and really delivered a good value for money show and performance . It,s great to see that Mr Weller still has a appetite and enthusiasm to still gig and play at smaller venues like Folkestone last night . He played initially for 90 minutes playing new songs from his soon the be released new cd , along with Welller standards like Wildwood and You do something to me , which brought the house down ! After a brief break , Weller and his brilliant band came back for 2 encores , the first was an acoustic set of 5 songs of new an old songs and then he returned again for a 2nd encore . Boy does he give his fans wanting more , giving excellent value for money . So , thanks Paul for a great night out that did,nt disappoint ! One final observation , is that Mr Weller dropped quite a few songs into the set that are currently new to his fans , as the new cd is not out yet , I think was a brave decision to play these songs when diehard fans might be expecting to hear his classic tracks . On a lighter note , Paul fluffed the lyric to one of his songs , so as the professional that he is , he stopped the band , apologised forgetting the first line of the song , then seamlessly started again like nothing happened. We all applauded his honesty of this situation but laughed with him at it . As an musician and entertainer of 40 years , on last nights performance , it gives me great pleasure to say that Paul Weller looks to be enjoyed playing live and is still very much relevant and also contemporary ...... Long may that remain ! I will without doubt go and see him again next time he is on tour . Thanks Paul !
