Stay tuned to SeatGeek for more updates on the tour. The tour will close out at Union Transfer in Philadelphia on July 31. Weller will then take to our nation’s capital on July 30 at the 9:30 Club. In England, he is recognised as something of a national institution yet, because much of his songwriting is rooted in English culture, he has remained essentially a national rather than an international star. The first concert outside of New York will take place on July 28, at the Boston Royale in Boston, MA. The show has another family link with footage of Weller’s father John, who managed the band, greeting visitors on arrival. Paul Weller (born ) is an English singer / songwriter, leader of two successful bands: The Jam and The Style Council. How incredible it is to think of all the memorabilia from the band, our families and fans together in one place. Weller said: “When we were in the band, I would never have thought that some 35-odd years later, there would be an exhibition in our name at Somerset House. YOU’LL BE getting in a spin over these iconic £1,200 portraits made entirely from broken records. The exhibition, running at Somerset House in central London, has been put together with the help of Weller and former bandmates Rick Buckler and Bruce Foxton as well as his sister who ran the band’s fanclub at the height of their fame. The trio, who got together in Woking, were one of the biggest bands in the late 1970s and early 1980s with a string of hits including the number ones Going Underground, Town Called Malice and Beat Surrender. 2: Weller publicly opposed Paul Simons decision to record his album Graceland in apartheid South Africa in the 1980s. In England, he is recognised as something of a national institution yet, because much of his songwriting is rooted in English culture, he has remained essentially a national rather than an international star. Fact 1: Paul and his wife Hannah are reportedly expecting twins in April 2012. She has plundered her family’s record collection for the show which also includes handwritten lyrics, stage outfits, posters and scrapbooks from the band’s career. Paul Weller (born ) is an English singer / songwriter, leader of two successful bands: The Jam and The Style Council.
