Paul Weller's 'Other Aspects, Live At The Royal Festival Hall' due in March

In October 2018, Paul Weller performed two concerts at London’s prestigious Royal Festival Hall with an orchestra. The second of these shows was recorded and filmed and will be released as a live album and DVD package on March 8.

Other Aspects, Live At The Royal Festival Hall is a 25 track career spanning collection. As well as classics from Weller’s back catalog, the bulk of the performance features 11 songs from the internationally acclaimed True Meanings, which was released last September. The track listing also includes several tracks from Weller’s days in The Jam, including a re-working of “Private Hell” from their 1979 LP Setting Sons and “Boy About Town” from 1980’s Sound Affects. The Style Council gets represented by “Have You Ever Had It Blue” (Absolute Beginners – 1986) and “A Man Of Great Promise” (Our Favorite Shop – 1985). Other solo fan favourites such as “You Do Something To Me” (Stanley Road – 1995) and “Long Long Road” (A Kind Revolution – 2017) are also in the set. As well as the full concert, the DVD also features a behind-the-scenes mini-documentary with rehearsal footage and interviews.

Along with his usual touring band, the show featured the London Metropolitan Orchestra and, on “Books” (True Meanings – 2017), Weller was joined on-stage by British singer-songwriter Lucy Rose and three musicians: Sheema Mukherjee, Kamalbir Nandra and Tofail Ahmed playing Sitar, Tanpura and Indian Violin.

Assisted by conductor/arranger Hannah Peel there was, at times, a total of 24 musicians onstage.
