The Style Councillors

A tribute act recreating The Style Council's debut album Café Bleu alongside the group's hits, staged at Band On The Wall in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

The Style Councillors are a tribute to The Style Council, the group Paul Weller formed in 1982 once The Jam had split up. Weller was joined by Mick Talbot, whose earlier work included spells with The Merton Parkas, Dexys Midnight Runners and The Bureau. Between 1983 and 1989 the group issued a run of singles, among them Speak Like a Child, Money-Go-Round, Long Hot Summer, My Ever Changing Moods, You're The Best Thing, Shout To The Top, Walls Come Tumbling Down, A Solid Bond In Your Heart, Come To Milton Keynes, The Lodgers and Why I Went Missing.

This act is a nine-piece band formed in 2013 by Darren Fletcher. It is a tribute rather than the original group, and on this tour it performs Café Bleu, the debut album by The Style Council, in full, alongside the group's hits and classics. Its following is drawn from fans of Paul Weller and The Style Council.

Band On The Wall is a live music venue in the Northern Quarter that mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie. The evening is an AGMP Concerts presentation, built around one album and the singles that surrounded it.
