Steve White

The story of the band that Paul Weller formed after The Jam split up in 1982, with insight from key members, collaborators and fans.

Documentary containing interviews and concert footage of the various musicians and bands within the Red Wedge organization on a tour within the UK.

One of the benefits of a great live performance DVD is that it captures the artist at a specific point in time, age, experience and creative output. Paul Weller Live at the Royal Albert Hall does just that. Filmed in 2000, he is backed by longtime associates Steve White on drums and Steve Cradock on guitar, plus Edgar Jones on bass and Chris Holland on keyboards. Also on hand are Robert Kirby and a 16-piece string orchestra, accompanying the band on most songs. The performances are tight and the production quality is excellent.

"Paul Weller: Into Tomorrow" is a unique insight into the life of a music and style icon. Inspired in part by the Robert Evans film "The Kid Stays In The Picture" this 90-minute film features Paul Weller recounting his life story and contains wonderful archive footage and candid interviews with friends, family and musical associates including his parents John and Anne, Steve Brookes and Bruce Foxton of The Jam, former wife and Style Council member Dee C Lee, Steve White and Mick Talbot of The Style Council, Boy George and Noel Gallagher. Weller tracks his journey from his childhood in Woking through the purchase of his first guitar to the formation of The Jam, the Style Council and his solo years.

Jerusalem is the Style Council's 'Magical Mystery Tour' - a bonkers jumble of imagery, concepts, and situations and outdoor locations that the band members find themselves in, which occasionally cuts to a song.

The DVD presents Weller's legendary status as a British rock icon through both a large-scale stadium-style show and an intimate television setting, showcasing his evolving musical style and enduring appeal.
