Paul Weller - 07:30PM 19/05/2008
location - De Montfort Hall, Leicester
The greatest singer-songwriter of his generation, Paul Weller, has announced a UK tour for the spring which precedes his eagerly-awaited new studio album, his first since 2005's As Is Now.
The past fifteen years have seen Paul establish a highly acclaimed solo career post his success with The Jam and Style Council, 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 over three decades since his first single release.
Expect Paul to debut tracks from his forthcoming album 22Dreams, released in June, as well as classic Weller past and present.

Evenings 7.30pm, Saturday matinée 2.30pm
Evening in Tuscany at the height of a sultry Italian
summer, with the still, silent darkness punctuated
only by the chirping of insects. Shadows are scarcely discernible around the farmhouse where Vin, Kate, Charles and Eleanor are spending their holiday, in this glorious paradise of indulgent lethargy.
However their peace and tranquility are abruptly shattered by the unexpected arrival of a stranger with an extraordinary tale to tell – of the discovery of secret religious documents, of danger, kidnap and murder, and of a conspiracy that could lead to world-wide catastrophe.
