I'm a physicist familiar with QM, QFT and GR etc but I've never really sat down and learned astrophysics properly. Would Steven Weinberg's new book be considered a good advanced introduction or would people recommend another text. Half tempted to get it anyway to complete the Weinberg collection.

I was lucky enough to be able to be apart of his "lectures on astrophysics" book as I attended the courses he did while making it. It is a good book but DENSE, lots of math, so I wouldn't say INTRO, but with your background you'll be fine. You might need to review some nuclear when it pops up would be my only concern.
