THE MODFATHER of British rock treated fans to a secret gig.
Paul Weller performed live at The Old Market in Brighton for The Great Escape festival in front of only a couple of hundred people.
His set was mainly full of songs from his forthcoming album Saturns Pattern, which was released yesterday. But the gig also included some of his popular old songs too.
A film of the performance will be made available exclusively on the Amazon Prime Instant Video streaming internet service. The former lead singer of The Jam said: “We always get nervous, I’ve been nervous for 40 years or more. It wouldn’t matter if it was two people, two hundred people or twenty thousand, because it’s the moment of truth when you play live. It’s only you and the audience, there’s no hiding.”
