Paul
Weller played a secret set at The Great Escape festival in Brighton yesterday
afternoon (May 16), at the Old Market venue.
Weller,
whose new album ‘Saturn’s Pattern’ comes out tomorrow (May 18), was not billed
to play the festival but performed to a packed hall at 2.30pm, with a 45-minute
set for the Amazon Front Row series including several songs from the new
record.
Weller,
joined by a five-piece band including two drummers, ran onto the stage to open
‘White Sky’, the lead ‘Saturn’s Pattern’ single, before playing songs from
across his solo career.
Addressing
the audience for the first time, the former Jam singer joked to one crowd
member, “A little smile wouldn’t hurt”, before launching into ‘Into Tomorrow’
from his 1992 self-titled solo album. He later referred to ‘Saturn’s Pattern’
track ‘Going My Way’ as “probably the next single”.
The set-list
was as follows: -
‘White
Sky’
‘Long
Time’
‘Floorboards’
‘Saturns
Pattern’
‘I’m Where
I should Be’
‘The
Attic’
‘Into
Tomorrow’
‘Above the
Clouds’
‘Going My
Way’
‘Peacock
Suit’
‘Changingman’
‘These
City Streets’
A film of
the performance will be available on Amazon Prime Instant Video at an
unspecified date.
