The Style Council was an English band formed in Woking in 1983 by Paul Weller, the former singer and guitarist with The Jam, and keyboardist Mick Talbot, previously a member of Dexys Midnight Runners, The Bureau and The Merton Parkas.[1]
The permanent line-up grew to include drummer Steve White and Weller's then-wife, vocalist Dee C. Lee.[2] Other artists such as Tracie Young and Tracey Thorn (Everything but the Girl) also collaborated with the group. As with Weller's previous band, most of this London-based outfit's hits were in their homeland.[2] The band scored six top 40 hits in Australia, and seven top 40 hits in New Zealand during the 1980s.
