My guest on Episode 128 of The Paul Weller Fan Podcast is Terry Edwards.
A musician who has largely been in the studio, on the radio or onstage somewhere in the world since the age of 20. Terry sings and plays an array of musical instruments – sax, trumpet, guitar, keyboards, flute – with a myriad of artists including PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Billy Bragg, Jesus & Mary Chain, Madness, Franz Ferdinand, Jerry Dammers, Gallon Drunk, Ronnie Spector, Spiritualized and many more… including our podcast subject – Paul Weller!.
A founding member of The Higsons, the punk funk band who were signed to Jerry Dammers’ label 2-Tone.
He has subsequently performed and released records both as a solo artist and with his band The Scapegoats. He is also a member of The Near Jazz Experience with Madness bassist Mark Bedford & former Higsons drummer Simon Charterton.
