What do you do when you've just has a number 1 album and you're in lockdown? In the case of Paul Weller, the answer is to write and record another number 1 album! 'Fat Pop (Volume 1)' is Paul's 16th studio album and like its predecessor, 'On Sunset' this one has gone straight in at the top of the UK album charts. 'Fat Pop' extends Paul's run of Number 1 success across five decades, first topping the chart in 1982 with The Jam before landing solo Number 1s in the 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s, and once again, Paul has enlisted the services of the Stone Foundation horn section. The CD and vinyl formats of the album feature the SF Horns on 4 tracks: 'True'; 'Glad Times'; 'Moving Canvas' and 'Still Glides the Stream', and Steve was credited with arranging the horns for all 4 tracks. The bonus CD included in the Deluxe box set also features the boys on a 16 minute workout - 'Fat Mix'.

Saturday - July 11th 2020 On Friday July 10th, Paul Weller's new album 'On Sunset' stormed straight into the UK album charts at number 1 and the SF Horns feature on two tracks - 'More' and 'Old Father Tyme' - Steve is credited with writing the horn arrangements too! Paul has now had chart-topping albums across five consecutive decades, in three different incarnations: as a solo artist (in 1995, 2002, 2008, 2012 and 2020), in 1982 with The Jam and 1985 with the Style Council. A real honour to share horn section duties on the record with Chris Storr, Phil Veacock and especially the mighty John Thirkell (apparently this racks up his 24th number 1 album!). Thanks to Paul for trusting in our ability. The Stone Foundation Horn Section are: Steve Trigg - Trumpet / Flugel Horn Dave Boraston - Trumpet / Flugel Horn, Anthony Gaylard - Tenor and Alto Saxes and Paul Speare - Baritone Sax and Flute.
