Paul Gives it Full Weller at the Villa

What a place this is to live! As with everywhere, there are times when I doesn't really appreciate my surroundings. Last night wasn't one such time. The culmination of a few weeks beautiful weather produced a fabulous evening in the Isle of Man.
Last night Paul Weller (formerly of The Jam & Style Council) played the second of two sell-out gigs at the Villa Marina
We were able to go for a walk before enjoying a drink on the top of the Villa Marina Colonnade and I'm ashamed to say that we missed the support act entirely because it seemed such a shame to go inside.
My advice to anyone coming over for a short break or holiday would be to check the www.villagaiety.com website before you come to check if there is anything on, so the locals haven't snapped all the tickets up by the time you get here. If you would like to eat before you go, an early dinner or bar snack is no problem if you let us know beforehand.
It was a very good show, although I felt that he perhaps was punishing us oldies for not buying any of his new material for the last 30 years by leaving out many of the old Jam classics. That's Entertainment for you(or it would have been if he'd played it.)
