Subject: Weller Talks at Gibson Guitartown launch....

Got chance to interview PW at length yesterday. As a Splinter I voiced concern over setlist the future of Whitey etc. In short, he answered with great thought but, as you can see from attached, things got a little frosty between us to say the least!

Time constraints and lack of regular touring had lead to static Glastonbury setlist. He did say 'I'll play what I want to play and fuck everyone else' but also said he gets off on what he's currently working on was looking forward to playing the new songs into the set.

Forthcoming dates with Craddock will give a career overview but he hopes to 'road test' eight or so new songs. He did agree that working as a four piece had probably run its course, but that he couldn't imagine being on stage without Stevie Whitey.

He asked why 'every fucker and his dog' seems to dis WBY. I couldn't answer this as have loved song since first hearing, though did manage to swing in what a waste of time and money the live and hits album had been. He agreed, and said: 'You gotta bite yer lip sometimes, man, or you don't get to where you wanna go'.

I bought up FTJ and he said 'pass'. Dropped them in again later on and he stared me out until we moved on.

To his great credit he did say cheers give me a hug afterwards and went beyond call of duty in talking to everyone and signing everything thrust his way.

Next album due Sept 2008. A semi new line-up next summer, but did get feeling things will slow greatly after that.

[> I disagree, I don't know where people are coming from on WBY (Wild Blue Yonder) it's a good romp if you ask me...! Play it louder maybe. It reminds me of a pub-chant, perhaps that's a bit obvious? I think that Small Personal Fortune is class. Historic and pivotal first-time collaboration between Weller/Cradock. -- MODjerry, 22:54:39 07/01/07 Sun

[> Fair Enough about the single chioce, AK. Presumably For Dancers is to be a WIGAN-Reunion theme single later this year. What do U think of the NEW WELLER/Coxon material?? Black River reminds me of "Push-Button Automatic"...! -- MODjerry, 20:59:04 07/04/07 Wed

[> Yeh, AK! That's what I read too, about the new WELLER version of "For Dancers Only" It was reported that the new version (not the OCS version) will be used as a Wigan Reunion single, being played during the event, etc.... I'm interested to hear what you think of the "This Old Town" EP..! Peace, bro!! -- MODjerry, 05:59:23 07/06/07 Fri
