This is as definitive an account of the artist as we have to date * MOJO *
[An] extraordinary new oral history of the man and his music . . . It's a treasure trove of personal recollections, and the picture that emerges is of a band with an incredible connection to its fans that would be unimaginable today . . . Weller can't be tied down and won't sell out. Dancing Through the Fire offers a route to understand him, and the picture it presents is never less than surprising. We shouldn't have expected anything else * Daily Telegraph *
What is the collective noun for a group of Weller fans? A 'jam'? Whatever it may be, Dan has brought them together in these pages, along with Paul Weller himself and all the musicians who've played with him for over fifty years, to tell the definitive story. A work of real journalistic dedication, perseverance and endeavour -- John Wilson * Radio 4 *
THE book on someone who's touched the lives of so many of us -- Gary Crowley * BBC Radio London *
This is as close to a complete history of Paul Weller as you are going to get * Louder Than War *
A must-read for Weller devotees that captures Paul's artistic evolution with infectious enthusiasm! -- Ric Blaxill * Bauer Media *
An oral history that could arguably be the definitive document of the ever-changing man. . . Written with true love and insight * Shindig *
