In this conversation for my Dancing Through the Fire book, I chat with Pippa Hall, whose time at Go! Discs saw her at the heart of Paul Weller’s solo resurgence.

Pippa offers a fascinating insight into the inner workings of one of the UK’s most beloved record labels, describing the family atmosphere that made the label so special and the excitement of being part of Weller’s creative rebirth in the 1990s.

We hear about the challenges of getting Paul’s music the attention it deserved in the early days, the thrill of hearing Wild Wood for the first time at The Manor, and the unforgettable experience of working on the Help album at Abbey Road.

Pippa also reflects on the changing landscape of the music industry, the ups and downs of label life, and her enduring friendship with Paul.

From dealing with journalists and press controversies to the personal connections that shaped her career, this conversation is packed with anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories that shed new light on a pivotal era for Paul Weller and British music.
