Following the unveiling last week of his True Meanings album – “an album characterised by grandiose-yet-delicate, lush orchestration” – Paul Weller has announced that he’ll play two special orchestral shows at London’s Royal Festival Hall in October.

The concerts – on October 11 and 12 – will be Weller’s only True Meanings shows this year.
