Paul Weller played a sold-out acoustic show at the Royal Albert Hall in London last night (April 10) as part of Roger Daltrey's Teenage Cancer Trust concerts.

Following well-received sets from Liam Gerner and Welsh songstress Duffy, Weller took to the stage accompanied only by Steve Cradock, with the pair both playing acoustic guitars.

The gig – supported by Gibson guitars – was heavy on material from his most recent album, 2005's 'As Is Now', but also featured a trio of obscure songs by first band The Jam in the shape of 'Beat Surrender', b-side 'Shopping', 'Start!' flipside 'Liza Radley' and 'Strange Town''s other half, 'The Butterfly Collector'.

Other highlights included a version of 'Stanley Road' closer 'Wings Of Speed' with Weller on piano, 'From The Floorboards Up' b-side 'Oranges And Rosewater', and a new song from the Modfather's forthcoming '22 Dreams' album entitled 'Why Walk When You Can Run'.

Guitarist Cradock was also briefly given a chance to shine, performing his song 'Beware Of Falling Rocks' solo.

The set climaxed with a beautiful version of 'You Do Something To Me', followed by a rousing rendition of The Jam classic 'That's Entertainment'.
