Chosen Songs

At the end of every podcast episode, I ask my guests to ‘pick one Paul Weller song for the rest of your life – it can be The Jam, The Style Council or Paul Weller solo…’
As I sit here typing away in January 2023, I have finally managed to get this list of songs onto the website. Lesson to self : make a note from episode one.
It would never have happened without the kindness of listener Steve Park AKA Parkie64 who wrote them all up for me. HUGE THANKS MATE!
I’ve realised that on occasion I’ve let people pick more than one – so I’ll keep an eye on that !

At the time of writing – Wild Wood has come out on top with Down by the Tube Station at Midnight a close second and It’s a Very Deep Sea in third place. I’ve even created a Spotify playlist with the songs chosen by my guests. ENJOY!
