Paul Weller has played a surprise performance outside a small chip shop in West London. Check out footage of the moment below.
The singer, songwriter and former frontman of The Jam made the appearance on Saturday afternoon, when he took to a stage at a street party in West London.
The event was held as a closing party for George’s Fish Bar, and saw Weller perform to locals in the area as part of a surprise set. During the intimate performance, he played a reggae version of his solo track ‘You Do Something To Me’, before then breaking out a rendition of the title track from his 1993 album ‘Wild Wood’.
It comes as Weller is embarking on his latest tour, and recently played a huge show at Edinburgh Castle.
Check out fan-captured footage of the performance below.
The surprise gig over the weekend took place after the Modfather released his 17th solo album, ’66’, back in May – the day before his 66th birthday.
He described it as an LP that would see him delve into topics including “faith, changing circumstances and the fractured realities of life in this turbulent age” but at its core, boast a message of positivity and wisdom.
Since then, he has also shared details of another tour across the UK, which will take place across the autumn.
Kicking off in Cheltenham on October 17, the stint also includes stop-offs in Brighton, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Llandudno, Liverpool and other locations throughout that month and into early November.
The tour is set to conclude with a performance at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith, London on November 8. Weller will be joined on the run by special guest opener Liam Bailey.
Before that though, he will play his first North American tour dates in seven years. Visit here for remaining US tickets, and here for UK tickets.
