I'm not alone, the eternally well dressed crowd have got their gig etiquette sussed - non dancers on the top tier and expectations are ridiculously high as always. First the roar and then on he strides with a sense of purpose you know he's saved for this night alone. From the Floorboards Up sets the pace and weeds out those who find the front a little too lively. Two things make this night more special than the other encounters. The first is the 'la la la' the crowd take up once That's Entertainment finishes, house lights go up, Paul sparks up and we sing long, loud and proud. I've witnessed this many times but not to this extent and we feel proud and privileged. The second really is something special; second encore, backdrop falls to the ground to reveal the glorious image of Belfast's favourite son and sadly recently deceased George Best... SHOUT TO THE TOP. It took a while to truly take in the scene, but we danced with renewed vigour and lumps in throats. Then, out into the cold night with smiles that won't fade for some time...

Mick Talbolt and Jools Holland joining him on stage, acoustic set in the middle of the gig, Steve White at his absolute best. Seeing the Stanley Road songs performed with bug band and strings was brilliant - especially Dr Johns "Walking on guilded splinters". Last saw Paul at Eden project which was also a great setting.

The Jam was the seed from which he grew and I knew there and then he would become the great English rose. That day I knew anything was possibly and I could chase my dreams to the end of the world. I always think back to that great day whenever I help my wonderful children to chase their dreams and tell them of the great Paul Weller from Woking and how he taught me to chase my dreams!

Paul was rocking the house, the power even blew as he was jamming so hard!! He was playing his guitar hard and the next minute I saw his guitar pick flying towards us. It was. just out of reach and landed on the other side of the barrier. After getting security's attention we asked that he retrieve it for us - which he did!! We were so excited and still treasure it today! The guitar pick shows how hard he was jamming as the side of it is worn where he used it to strum his guitar! It was a special and memorable night as we were also able to get a set list which has Steve Craddocks foot print on it! It was a great concert from a great musician! KTF
