Summary
This podcast episode is living proof that sometimes your teenage music heroes really do come full circle. Richard Engler grew up in Manchester, a diehard Jam fan who could recite Paul Weller’s lyrics and remember the row and seat number of his first gig. Fast forward a couple of decades, and Richard found himself working directly with Weller as Marketing Director at V2 Records - helping to steer the campaign for the Studio 150 album and seeing firsthand what it’s like to support one of Britain’s most enduring and restless musicians. In this episode, Richard shares what it was like to go from fan club member to trusted label team member, reveals the inside stories of marketing a covers album in the pre-social era, and reflects on the surreal joy and unique challenges of helping Paul Weller reach new milestones while staying true to his roots.
