@NickHancock After yesterday’s awesome support 4 World Mental Health day in North Yorkshire attention turns today to a fund raiser in Hgte for a Therapy Bike for Stroke survivors & others with impaired mobility, organised by my amazing partner Vicki : justgiving.com/crowdfunding/s… .

We're very excited to reveal 'Weller At The BBC (Vol. 2)’! This second BBC outing gathers live session and in concert performances, including stripped back acoustic versions and re-workings of tracks across The Jam, The Style Council and Paul’s extensive solo career. (1/4)

The Jam tearing through “In The Street, Today” in 1978 on The Old Grey Whistle Test is pure urgency. Sharp suits, sharper riffs, and Paul Weller already writing like he had something to prove. No gimmicks. Just attitude and precision.

The Jam. "In The City". Still brilliant 49 years on. #TheJam #PaulWeller #punk

Ghosts of a steam train, echoes down my track. No 1, 44 years ago this week. Remembering Rick. #WellerWednesday

Top of the Pops (18th February 1982). The Jam hold the top spot with the double-A side Precious/Town Called Malice (and were the first group since The Beatles to perform both sides of their disc on the same edition of TOTP).

@beatsbydre why does one of my beats fit pro in ear buds run out of battery when the other has 50% left when both charged the same way?

A look inside the LP edition of 'Cafe Bleu - Special Edition'... 'Cafe Bleu - Special edition' is available on the 30th of January 2026.

Not impressed with ⁦@Tesco⁩ so called Finest bread. Not properly sliced so the slices all break when trying to open, wasted half of it!

Had an inedible meal from @wagamama_uk on Saturday - delivered by @Deliveroo who refuse to refund. Won’t be ordering from or through either again unless this is resolved and caution others against using @Deliveroo who don’t fulfil their role of ensuring the food is of a standard

On The Tube in 1982, The Jam perform Beat Surrender as Paul Weller brought the band’s story to a deliberate close. The song appeared as a standalone single later that year and became their fourth UK number one, marking the end of The Jam at their commercial peak. Built around restraint, reflection, and a clear sense of finality, performances like this captured a band choosing resolution over repetition, stepping away just as British pop and mod revival culture reached its height.

We started with 240 songs in the #1982singlespoll The final two have just finished battling it out . And the winner is… 🥁 THE JAM - TOWN CALLED MALICE It’s been absolutely fantastic! Thank you once again for taking part. Wishing you and yours a very happy Christmas.

The tranquility of solitude

@denbypottery very disappointed that this has lasted only a few weeks since buying it and already has scratched

R.I.P. Mani…..

Looking forward to an interesting day of education at the BAsem Conference at Leeds Armouries learning about Physical Activity in Long Term Health Conditions from a healthcare perspective . @basem_uk
