Paul Weller
After announcing his return with his eponymous solo debut, the following year Paul Weller cemented his status as the Modfather with Wild Wood, a No 2 UK chart smash featuring hit singles Wild Wood and Sunflower. ‘Has My Fire Really Gone Out’ he asks. Not likely - as the Glastonbury crowds proved…
“It has such great memories for me from a creative point of view, from songs like Sunflower, Has My Fire Really Gone Out, getting to meet Steve Winwood, working with Paul McCartney – it was a fantastic time.”
“Sunflower was my little tribute to Ginger Baker, which has become a landmark in my life because the drums are so prominent. 1994 we did Glastonbury, and we went on at seven o’clock just as dusk was starting to creep across the horizon. I remember you could feel it in the crowd that everyone was listening.”
