Legend Weller will include county gig on his forthcoming national tour

Feb 21 2008

MOD rocker Paul Weller is set to entertain audiences at Motherwell Concert Hall later this year.

The singer-songwriter has announced a UK tour for the spring which precedes his new studio album, his first since 2005’s “As Is Now’.

The past 15 years has seen Paul, pictured right, establish a highly acclaimed solo career following his success with The Jam and Style Council and with albums like `Wild Wood’, ‘Stanley Road’, `Heliocentric’ and `Illumination.

Respected by his peers, cited as an inspiration in influencing the music-making of numerous breaking bands and attracting a legion of fans, Paul remains at the top of his career after over three decades since his first single release hit the national charts.

Concert-goers can expect Paul to debut tracks from his forthcoming album “22 Dreams” as well as classic Weller songs from both the past and present.

The album “22 Dreams” will be released in June.

He will entertain in Lanarkshire for a second time on Wednesday, May 14.

His first visit to the county was back in 1995 when he played at T in the Park, when it was originally sited at Strathclyde Park.

Tickets for Paul’s tour went on sale on Saturday.
