Percussionist Joe Beckett share his stories from inside a pivotal, often-overlooked chapter in Paul Weller’s career: the Paul Weller Movement. Joe recalls the unique circumstances that landed him in the band, from chance club gigs to a spontaneous audition at Solid Bond Studios, and the creative camaraderie that followed.
He takes us on the road in 1990, from a packed Dingwalls debut surrounded by mods and scooters, across Europe and the UK, to the final triumphant night at London’s Town & Country Club, later immortalized by the BBC.
Along the way, Joe details the evolution of new tracks like ‘Kosmos’ and ‘New Thing,’ reflects on the enduring power of Paul Weller’s work ethic, and relives the camaraderie and chaos that defined life as a working musician in a high-pressure, high-energy band finding its feet.
