Paul Weller Nominated, after 16 years

Wake Up The Nation is also Weller’s first nomination since Wild Wood narrowly missed out on the auspicious Mercury prize in 1994 despitereaching number 2 in the UK charts and firmly establishing Weller as a soloartist. Wild Wood’s album cover famously featured a guitar-playing Weller in shadow looking out into a verdant garden,and was created by leading rock photographer Lawrence Watson.

Watson’s images take centre stage in thesold-out A THOUSAND THINGSlimited edition book by Weller, notably during the Modfather’s solo career.Genesis Publications are pleased to present two of his iconic images asstunning portraits. The prints are made to be breathtaking – produced using aunique metallic photographic paper.
