Dan Jennings - Dancing Through the Fire: The Authorised Oral History Of Paul Weller
The groundbreaking oral history on one of the most legendary musicians of all time: Paul Weller.
Across musical history, certain artists have transcended their craft to become cultural icons, leaving an indelible mark on the world of sound and style. Paul Weller, the legendary British musician, singer and songwriter, stands among the select few whose influence spans generations. His enduring popularity, traversing the explosive energy of The Jam to the sophisticated sounds of The Style Council and a prolific solo career spanning over thirty years, underscores the timeless appeal of his work. Weller also holds a unique position in music history: he shares the rare distinction with Lennon and McCartney as one of the few artists to achieve Number 1 albums in five consecutive decades.
Authorised by the man himself, Dancing Through the Fire explores the fascinating narrative of Paul Weller's musical career, weaving together never-before-told stories, intimate insights and perspectives from those who have been integral to his remarkable journey. Based on over 200 hours of interviews, meticulously curated by award-winning broadcaster and journalist Dan Jennings, we hear from Weller's family, bandmates, collaborators, industry insiders and more - allowing exclusive access to the man behind the music, including his unparalleled drive, creative struggles and personal triumphs that have shaped his iconic career and legacy.
Endlessly candid, insightful and definitive in its approach, Dancing Through the Fire is the ultimate biography that captures the essence of Weller's musical evolution through the voices of those who know him best.
