About this episode
Sir Lenny Henry is a British icon.
For decades, he’s been a force in comedy, acting, writing, and activism.
But what’s less discussed is his deep connection to music - and, in particular, his admiration for Paul Weller and The Jam, The Style Council, and Weller’s solo work.
In another real 'pinch me' moment, I caught up with Lenny for my book, Paul Weller: Dancing Through the Fire - The Authorised Oral History to explore this musical thread running through his life and career... including a stand out performance joining The Style Council live on TV and performing a song on Our Favourite Shop!
