The new limited edition fullyillustrated, hardback coffee table book by Nicky Weller, Stuart Deabill and Steve Rowland celebrating the first decade of Paul Weller as a solo artist.

This stunning new 304page book offers an illuminating visual and text history of one of Britain’s greatest songwriters, Paul Weller, by the team behind the acclaimed ’Soul Deep – Adventures with the Style Council’ and published by Soul Deep Productions.

In the Shadow of the Sun charts the rise of Paul’s climb as an unsigned singer/songwriter to double million selling album artist and beyond, through original and rare artwork, unseen photos from Lawrence Watson and Grant Fleming, press ads, tour posters, merchandise, and other rarely seen artefacts from the archives of some of PW’s biggest fans.

Featuring new interviews with Lawrence Watson, Go Discs! boss Andy MacDonald, Producer Brendan Lynch, Musician Mick Talbot and many attendees of Paul’s gigs from the small venues to the outdoor soldout gigs and festivals of the era. Complimented by Nicky Weller’s personal memorabilia, memories and photos, as well as Stuart Deabill’s insights and knowledge as an avid music nut who lived the decade, like it was his last.

“I never ever thought Paul lost his way, I don’t think he ever has, his whole ethos of looking for the next thing has always held him in good stead”. Nicky Weller
