EP125 - Helen Turner - Musician - Honorary Councillor / Paul Weller Solo

On this episode of the Paul Weller Fan Podcast, I am joined by another hugely talented musician - the lady behind the keys - Helen Turner.As a much-loved Honorary Councillor for The Style Council, she performed live on multiple tours and TV performance with the band in the UK, Europe, Japan and Down Under - including Glastonbury and Live Aid!.You can also hear her recordings with Paul, Mick, Dee and Steve... we're talking songs such as 'Walls Come Tumbling Down' and 'The Lodgers'... The 'Home & Abroad' and 'In Concert' albums too.When Paul needed a keys-player to join his solo band in the early years... we're talking around Wild Wood and Stanley Road time... it was Helen who he called... a masterstroke with so many incredible live performances - captured on the likes of Jools Holland, Glastonbury '94 and Live Wood.You'll also hear her on Wild Wood and Stanley Road albums too.Helen was one of the first names on my wish-list back in 2020 so I am absolutely delighted to have tracked her down for a lovely podcast chat...
