About Absolute Weller
Absolute Weller are a fantastic tribute to Paul Weller, The Jam and The Style Council.
John William Weller(born 25 May 1958), better known asPaul Weller, is an English singer-songwriter and musician. Weller achieved fame in the late 1970s as the guitarist and principal singer and songwriter of the rock bandthe Jam, alongsideBruce FoxtonandRick Buckler. The band gained significant critical and commercial success in the United Kingdom, and were the most influential band of themod revivalof the late 1970s and early 1980s.[1]Following the dissolution of the Jam at the end of 1982, Weller formedthe Style CouncilwithMick Talbot, where he explored a wide variety of other musical styles, including pop, jazz, soul, hip hop, folk and classical. Although initially successful, the band's popularity declined in the late 1980s, leading them to break up in 1989. Weller began a solo career in the early 1990s, slowly re-establishing his commercial standing across his first four solo albums,Paul Weller(1992),Wild Wood(1993),Stanley Road(1995) andHeavy Soul(1997).
Although Weller has received international critical recognition as a singer, lyricist and guitarist, he is most famous in his native country, as his songwriting is rooted inEnglish society. Many of his songs with the Jam had lyrics aboutworking classlife.[2]He was the principal figure of the 1970s and 1980s mod revival, often referred to asthe Modfather,[3][4]and an influence on many subsequent Britishalternative rockandBritpopartists, such asOasis.[5]He has received fourBrit Awards, including Best British Male three times, and the2006 Brit Awardfor Outstanding Contribution to Music.
