Back in November 2018, we filmed The Moons, as they spent a day in Abbey Road Studio 2 to record their LP Pocket Melodies.
Andy Crofts took our footage and has cut this film documenting that day.
Lee & Mark have recently been guests on Dan Jennings‘ fantastic new podcast Desperately Seeking Paul.
“The World’s first Paul Weller podcast for the fans by the fans.
A radio broadcaster who gave up a career with one big regret.
Never getting to interview his hero , the legendary British musician Paul Weller.
This podcast exists purely to solve that issue.
It promises to be a celebration from In The City to On Sunset with everything in between.
Welcome to Desperately Seeking Paul!”

The pop group The Style Council, whilst at all times impeccably dressed, served up a diverse and catchy mix of classic agitprop pop, soul and jazzed infused songs, that are still fondly remembered to this day. We look back at how the fervent 1980s political landscape shaped the life, times and music of the band, that Paul Weller left The Jam to create, with Mick Talbot.
Featuring: Paul Weller, Mick Talbot, Dee C Lee, Boy George, Billy Bragg, Martin Freeman, Rev Richard Coles and more.
This year Demon Music Group celebrates it’s 40th Years and to mark the occasion we were asked to create this short film.
Here’s a video we have made for The Moons new single “Today”, taken from the album “Pocket Melodies“.
Filmed at Abbey Road Studios in Studio 2.
Here is a short fly on the wall film we made about the making of Paul Weller‘s fifteenth studio album, On Sunset. On Sunset reached number 1 in the UK album chart.
Paul has become only the third artist to top the UK album chart in five consecutive decades, alongside Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
His previous chart-toppers include one with the Jam (The Gift, 1982) and one with the Style Council (Our Favourite Shop, 1985), plus solo albums: Stanley Road (1995), Illumination (2002), 22 Dreams (2008) and Sonik Kicks (2012).
