by Andy Crofts (Author)
Music and photography have always gone hand in hand for Andy Crofts. In his teens he discovered a passion for taking pictures and described it as a life changing feeling. With a few brief encounters through playing live and sending demos of his music, he first met Paul Weller in 2006 which subsequently led to Andy being asked to join Paul's band in 2008, and has been a permanent member ever since. This book showcases a collection of photographs from his fast paced travels with Paul. Since joining the band he noticed that slowly and unintentionally he had gathered a collection of photographs of Paul that the world has never seen and for the first time from the perspective of a band member. This book is a series of natural observations, from over the years of travelling and being part of the Paul Weller band.
