Paul Weller - BBC Sessions, Volume 15: In Concert, BBC Radio Theatre, London, Britain, 4-15-2010

Here's yet another Paul Weller album done for the BBC. This time, it's a concert from 2010.

I wasn't sure about posting this concert at first, because the bootleg I found for it was rather short, only 34 minutes long. Then I dug around and discovered it was a longer concert. I couldn't find much more, but I found two more songs that come from his live album "Find the Torch, Burn the Plans." Those are the last two. That gave it a more decent length, so I'm posting it. 

But I also discovered that there are a bunch of additional songs performed that I still can't find. So if anyone has those, please let me know and I'll add them in.

This concert took place just four days before the release of his studio album "Wake Up the Nation." So naturally there are several songs from that album here. But I think what's most interesting about this are the three duets he did. Female soul singer Rox helped out on "Wild Wood," and female singer-songwriter Lauren Pritchard helped out on a cover of the classic " How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)." Neither of their careers went very far. Rox put out one album in her career and Pritchard put out two. Finally, Richard Hawley helped out with "No Tears to Cry." He's had a much more successful career, releasing over a dozen albums so far (as I write this in 2025).

This album is 42 minutes long.
