In this issue:
- Our cover star is Paul Weller who talks to M about his innovative new album Sonik Kicks and reveals what happened when he reached ‘that dangerous age’ .
- We then have a few giggles with some of our funniest songwriters and find out how the comedy song has evolved from the days of Flanders and Swann and George Formby. Mitch Benn, Graham Fellows, Richard Digance and more share their thoughts on this much-maligned genre.
- We take a look at our most northerly members, such as Jonas Jeberg and Nina Woodford, who have emerged from the Nordics to shape pop, rock and electronic music around the world. Their unique cultures, international outlook and remote landscapes have inspired some of the most groundbreaking music of the last two decades.
- Later we move from classics-in-the-making to retromania. Following The Stone Roses’ unlikely reformation earlier this year, we take a look at the sweeping trend of ‘nowstalgia’ to uncover why heritage acts and classic albums are enjoying a second heyday.
- Also in this issue we celebrate some major triumphs for our members, not least Adele’s historic win at the Grammys, and the countless award ceremonies that followed.
- We hear more from UK Music’s new CEO Jo Dipple (p15) about the Live Music Bill which recently received Royal Assent. It’s an act which will help nurture our grassroots live music scene and support musicians and songwriters at the start of their careers.
- Finally we meet Welsh singer-songwriter Cate le Bon, classic songwriter Julian Marshall, share the story behind a great picture of PRS Board director Barry Blue with Bananarama, and find out what’s on urban-folk artist Mary Leahy’s iPod.
