Shoz, are you still based in Manchester?

You would have had some good bands there during the '70s / '80s....

I was a huge fan of The Jam, but I never really forgave him for 'The Style Council' so I more or less stopped listening to his stuff.

I probably missed some good stuff in more recent years. Oh well......

Much as I loved The Jam, though, Weller always seemed to be a particularly humourless individual.
