Formed in 1983 by Paul Weller and Mick Talbot, The Style Council were very much an eighties band, releasing nineteen singles and five albums in the UK between 1983 and 1989, before splitting-up in 1989.
Paul Weller was, of course, the former front man with The Jam. Keyboard player Mick Talbot had previously played for the mod revival band The Merton Parkers (which included his brother,Danny) and also Dexys Midnight Runners. The Style Council later included Dee C. Lee who married Paul Weller in 1987 (Sadly, they divorced in 1998) and drummer Steve White.
