Paul Weller

Paolo Hewitt has known Paul Weller since they were both teenagers in the depths of Woking, through his ascent to fame with The Jam, the halcyon years of The Style Council and for all of his critically acclaimed solo career. Hewitt has even been the inspiration for some of Weller's songs - and he has extraordinary in-depth knowledge of the inspiration behind the rest. Once, when Hewitt interviewed Weller for a music magazine, he complained – ‘I don’t know why people ask me all these questions. All the answers are in my songs.’ For the last thirty years, Weller has been using his lyrics to explore his personal life and air his deeply held beliefs. Taking these lyrics as his starting point, alongside a lifetime's friendship, Paolo Hewitt has written the ultimate Weller book. In so doing, he introduces us to the real Paul Weller – the man inside the music.Hewitt, Paolo is the author of 'Paul Weller', published 2008 under ISBN 9780552156097 and ISBN 0552156094.
