With a career spanning over four decades and his eagerly anticipated album set to be released in May, Modfather Paul Weller showed no signs of slowing down during his performace at York's Barbican on Friday.

The British rock legend had fans old and young dancing along hits from his extensive discography including songs from his time in The Style Council and, of course, The Jam.

The set opened with support from none other than Mollie Marriott, daughter of the late Small Faces frontman and guitarist Steve Marriott. The hugely talented singer-songwriter, who has been described as “infectiously vivacious, soulful and connected”, led a passionate performance for the Yorkshire crowd, who didn’t fail to show their appreciation as they waited for Weller to take the stage.
