Paul Weller Tickets – Paul Weller Concerts Tickets for UK Fans

Paul Weller (born John William Weller on 25 May 1958) is an English singer-songwriter.

Starting with the very successful punk-rock band The Jam (1976-1982), Weller then went on to branch out musically to a more soulful style with The Style Council (1983-1989). In 1991 he re-established himself as a successful solo artist and continues to remain a respected singer, lyricist and guitarist, a fact reaffirmed by his recent awarding of the 2009 BRIT award for ‘Best Male Solo Artist’. He has remained a national rather than an international star, which may be unsurprising considering much of his songwriting is rooted in British culture. He is also the principal figure of the 1970s Mod revival and is often referred to as the Modfather.

Soon after the formation of The Style Council, Weller and Dee C. Lee, Style Council’s backing singer, began a romantic relationship. The couple married in 1988 and divorced in 1994. They have two children Leah and Natt, who is also a working musician and once appeared on stage with his father at Hammersmith Apollo at age 12. Weller also has a daughter by a short-lived relationship with a make-up artist.

While he was recording at the Manor studios in the mid 1990s, he became involved with Samantha Stock. They have two children. In December 2008 they broke up and Weller moved in with Hannah Andrews, a background singer on Weller’s 22 Dreams who has toured with his band. Paul and drummer Steve White backed the starting of Youth awareness cancer website checkemlads.com young mens cancer awareness after a fan became ill in 2004.

On April 24, 2009, John Weller, Paul Weller’s father and long-time manager since the days of The Jam, died from pneumonia at the age of 77.

Weller has stated a wide range of influences throughout his musical career, frequently listing The Small Faces, The Beatles, The Kinks, The Who, and 1960s and 1970s soul music.

During the Britpop explosion in the mid-1990s a number of fledging bands cited Weller and The Jam as a major influence. These included Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene and Blur. As a new generation of bands emerged, Weller was again noted as an influence by bands such as Hard-Fi, Arctic Monkeys, The Enemy and The Rifles.

Paul Weller has announced that he will play two more nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall.Already set to perform on May 24 and 25, Weller will now also play on May 26 and 27, 2010.

Muse are an English alternative rock band that formed in Teignmouth, Devon in 1994. Since their inception, the band has comprised vocalist, guitarist and pianist Matthew Bellamy, bassist and backing vocalist Christopher Wolstenholme and drummer Dominic Howard.

Muse have released four studio albums – Showbiz (1999), Origin of Symmetry (2001), Absolution (2003) and Black Holes and Revelations (2006) – the latter of which earned the band a Mercury Prize nomination and a third place finish in the NME Albums of the Year list for 2006. Their fifth studio album, The Resistance, is due to be released on 14 September 2009.

Muse have announced details of two UK stadium shows for 2010. The trio of bassist Chris Wolstenholme, singer Matt Bellamy and drummer Dom Howard will be

Internet Radio: A Free Format For All

The Internet has evolved and made many changes in our culture including personal MySpace pages, individual blogs, the way we trade information as well as the way the public finds and listens to music.

One of the upcoming and most popular formats is Internet Radio. Let’s discuss an Internet station, www.ilike2rock.net, who promotes, plays and exclusively features independent artists and their music.

Internet radio stations have been online for more than three years and offer listeners an alternative to “subscription radio” and commercial radio because of the eclectic music formats and unique opportunities for independent bands. The music is being brought to the forefront with stations like www.ilike2rock.net.

I spoke with DJ Tom of ilike2rock.net about the radio station and why it is important, not only the bands and individual artists they promote, but to the public as well.

”First and foremost, it is all about the music,” explained DJ Tom. “We offer a chance for the independent artists to submit their music free to us and to do that, they just go to our site and submit the music through a resource called “Music Submit” (we have an exclusive agreement with them). “Music Submit” allows bands and artists to submit band bios’, media kits and of course, the music, and this service in turn helps the bands by promoting them on ezines, other Internet radio stations, blogs and music related web sites.”

And www.ilike2rock.com adds even more to the table. I asked DJ Tom to elaborate.

”This gives the independent band or artist a unique opportunity to be heard with free exposure on our home page to reach their target audience and a chance for the band to attain new fans. We will also showcase bands in our “Talent Showcase,” keeping the band active on our play list. We also use the artists own promotional material (blogs, YouTube, My Space) and link up with them within our web site structure and we even create ring tones for them.”

There is a free program on the site to download called “Destiny Music Player” so you can tune in to the station and other Internet radio stations. It is similar to many of the music players for computers and is very easy to use and navigate.

Tired of the same format from your local radio station? Tune in ilike2rock and you can add more than 150 (and counting) independent bands and artists to your music play list. I spoke to DJ Tom about some of the bands they play and promote.

”This is what is the most exciting to me, we play the independent bands that submit to us (and Music Submit), from all kinds of musical genres and it is a free format, for both the listener and the bands. I am very excited for all our bands and artists. Some of the bands we promote are Hypnogaja, which supplied background music for the hit television on FX called “Dirt,” Black Frog, who have played at the Sturgis Bike Rally and Hide From Cleo, one of Michigan’s hottest bands and we promote all the bands equally.”

I was very impressed with DJ Tom and I too am excited to find new bands to listen to on the Internet. After all, it is always about the music.

Oakville Guitarist Washbrook & Dana Stone “Dirty Ice Cream Music” label

Dana Stone and Rick Washbrook meet in 1972 thats about 37 years ago at school in Aurora Ontario. In fact Dana Stone was a student of Washbrooks later in his teens. They went on to being good friends through the years.

In there early 20’s they lived together with a band called the Stoves in London. This is when Washbrook attended record production and engineering at Fanshaw Collage. Dana Stone was sound man and publicist for the band.

Dana Stone himself is a Wonderful singer and writes well crafted songs. He has 3 CD’s out under his label. Has been in the music business all his life diving into many facets of the industry.

Washbrook booked most of his shows for the 23 years he played live or worked with an agent. But Dana was always there to advise him.

When Washbrook fell low in his mid 40’s after many years of performing, and lost many family members and his wife. Washbrook became very ill on many levels.

Washbrook says.

“It is Dana’s hand that reached out to board me on that sail boat… to get me away and be free and clean, encouraging a fresh positive new outlook towards my career and future. I am so great full to Dana. My heart is alive and you cant always say in life it’s because of an old friend.Good Friends are hard to come by. I am very fortunate to have him as a friend and be under his label “Dirty ICe Cream Music”.

Training For Music Industry Jobs

The music industry is undoubtedly one of the ’sexiest’ fields in which to work, according to a recent survey by the editors of Time magazine. There are music industry jobs that require nearly any skill set that you can bring to the job, and the training required varies with each of the music industry jobs that may interest you. Here are some general guidelines for finding work in music industry jobs.

Love Music.

It’s not a prerequisite for music industry jobs, but loving music of any kind is a definite step in the right direction. While loving music may not be important in a record company accountant’s position, it’s practically required for anyone who works with artists or in promotion.

Check the qualifications for the job.

In general, most jobs in the music industry require at least a two year college degree – with the exception of performers who can get by without a degree if they have talent. Expect that the more involved the job, the higher your level of education and/or experience will need to be. A record promoter may need to demonstrate networking skills or developed contacts in the local music scene, for instance, and a contracts lawyer will obviously require a law degree. Music teachers working for the schools will need to have a teaching license as well as the demonstrated ability to play an instrument.

The best training is on the job training.

For positions like band manager, road work, publicists and promoters, the best training is through an internship or through your own work promoting and/or managing a band on your own. Some publicists and promoters come to the job from their own fanzines, or have developed a network of contacts in radio and advertising through their college or teen year extracurricular activities.

A degree in music is respected in many music industry jobs.

Colleges that specialize in music education like the Berklee School for the Performing Arts offer training in many different aspects of the music industry. You can study music and performance law, accounting for the music industry, and business management for music companies as well as composition, performance and other music-specific jobs.

Join the band.

One of the best training grounds for a career in orchestral music is your school or college band. If you’re already beyond the school years, take advantage of county and city music societies to both train your ear and keep in the practice of playing with others.

Music ministry jobs often require special certifications.

If you have a calling to a job in music ministry, you’ll find that many churches and synagogues require that their full time music minister have pastoral training as well as musical training. The American Guild of Organists and the National Council of Pastoral Musicians offer professional certifications at a number of levels.

Music therapists require a bachelor’s degree in music therapy from one of the approved universities that teach music therapy.

In addition to regular studies, the bachelors in music therapy requires 1200 hours of clinical practice.

The requirements for training for music industry jobs are varied, but this is a brief overview of the training required for some of the major careers in the music industry.
