The Jam's return has been well publicised, and for good reason, as The Jam produced some cracking Mod and pop/rock music between 1977 and 1982, with some chart success to match. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=270 The new CD "A First Class Return" will available at all venues on the winter tour along with the DVD and other From The Jam merchandise. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=269 When you started the �From The Jam� project in 2007, how much of a risk did you think you were taking?As some people already know, I played a couple of times with [original Jam drummer] Rick Buckler�s band The Gift in 2006, which was basically the line-up that we have now. I knew that Russell Hastings was doing a fantastic job of lead vocals and guitar, and having Dave Moore as the second guitarist and keyboard player added to the sound. So I just gatecrashed the band, really. Obviously there was an element of risk, but I knew we could perform those songs as well as we ever have done, and do them justice. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=268 Bruce Foxton and Russell Hastings on the Hawksbee & Jacobs show of Talk Sport.The chat includes, the tour, DVD, EP and questions from listeners. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=267 I'm pleased to announce that the winners of the support act competition are as follows. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=265 For many it�s been over 20 years since they last had the opportunity to hear classic songs such as That�s Entertainment, Down in the Tube Station at Midnight and Going Underground performed live, but all that is about to change. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=264 Bruce Foxton & Rick Buckler will be appearing on the Ken Bruce show (9:30 - 12:00) on BBC Radio 2 all this week.

Woking resident Pasquale Frangiamore has brought his children, Lorena and Eros, up on the sounds of the iconic band. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=245 FANS of The Jam say it�s time the town celebrated the music and achievements of the legendary artists with an official memorial. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php Down In the Tube Station at Midnight.With thanks to jsimms06 who posted it to YouTube. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=243 From The Jam featuring Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler, two-thirds of the original line-up of The Jam, today announces a 12-date UK tour in December and a forthcoming DVD release. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=242 From The Jam are pleased to announce their 12 date winter tour.Following two sell out UK tours in 2007 From The Jam have travelled to to the USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia receiving fantastic reviews along the way. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=241 GuilFest has revealed the headliners for all three days festival held from Friday 4th to Sunday 6th July 2008 at the idyllic location of Stoke Park, Guilford in Surrey. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=239 They never made much of an impression here in Oz, but the Jam are one of the quintessential British rock bands. In a period of prolific output in the late 70s and early 80s, the Paul Weller-fronted mod-rockers pumped out six albums in six years, collecting 18 consecutive top forty singles along the way. A record of nine top ten singles further cemented their legacy. Such was the popularity of the Jam in the UK that �Just Who Is the 5 O�Clock Hero?� made the British top ten without ever being released at home�it was only available as a Dutch import! http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=238 The Jam were a huge hit in the UK in the early �80s, now they are reforming � well almost. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=237 Bruce & Rick have been giving interviews for radio shows to be aired in Australia. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=236 From the Moore Park, Sydney, New South Wales gig.With thanks to Mark Biggs for posting the videos to YouTube.The track list is In The City, David Watts, Going Underground and Down in the Tube Station at Midnight. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=235 THE Jam often fall through the cracks of British music history, at least as far as it's recounted in Australia. Lacking the tabloid appeal of the Sex Pistols or the left-wing ideological pretensions of the Clash, the Jam were a critical element in the punk mosaic, despite not being punks. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=234 Bruce Foxton is a British musician best known as the bass guitarist in punk/new wave bands The Jam and Stiff Little Fingers, as well as the rock band Casbah Club. Bruce also discovered and managed a British new wave band called The Vapors. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=233 Absolutely Brilliant and a HUGE thumb�s up to Bruce, Rick, Russell and Dave to an amazing experience as last night�s Auckland, New Zealand Gig. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php From The Jam are pleased to announce that the official merchandise shop is now open.You can visit the shop here http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=231 Original Ikon will be selling the special edition Bruce Foxton styled shoe this spring, a four eyelet Gibson shoe with light punch detail across the vamp and toe. The upper is pure white, full grain leather, with black and white checkerboard calf linings, finished off with contrast black stitch detail. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=230 I suppose that the biggest question going into From The Jam�s show at The Blender Theatre at Gramercy on Saturday night was this: What was the band going to sound like without Paul Weller on vocals and guitar? The answer being, of course, that they sound different. But that isn�t necessarily a bad thing. Judging from the reaction of the crowd to the band, the audience were just glad to hear the songs played live again. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=229 Distinguished. That is the best word to describe the band and the audience that showed up Tuesday night in San Francisco's classiest venue. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=227 �We are a tribute band in a sense, with the advantage that we have two (original) members in our ranks.�Pete Townshend wrote that, just a couple of weeks back, in an e-mail Question and Answer session with Who fans. But his words could as easily apply to the Who�s greatest offspring, the Jam, and the group currently touring under almost that name. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=226 Who needs Paul Weller - long live the Jam! Don't get me wrong: In my opinion, he is one of the most talented living songwriters and deserves every award the music world has to offer. It's just that this Saturday night, when a teenage dream came true and I heard the Jam live, heard "Eton Rifles," "Private Hell" or "In the Crowd," I did not miss him a second. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=225 Late in January I had the chance to catch the reunion tour with the UK's original Jammers Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler and their touring outfit known as From The Jam. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php After much deliberation it is with regret that the Dallas show has been cancelled for From The Jam and Hugh Cornwell.This is due to unforseen operational circumstances and the promoter apologises for any inconvenience caused to ticket holders. From The Jam have had a wonderful time in the US and will be back in 2008. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php 24/05/08Ayr Racecourse,(with Status Quo) 2 - 6 Whitletts Road, Ayrshire, Scotland HA8 OJE27.50 Pounds Tel) 0870 850 566625/05/08Whitehaven Civic HallLowther StreetWhitehaven, Cumbria CA28 7SH20.00 Pounds Tel) 01946 514960Full Ticket Details to follow. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=222 Normally I'd frown on fan-boy hanging around the stage after the show for a setlist, but I was up front and had a gin to finish anyway. And yeah, it was The Jam--no way I wasn't gonna try for some kind of souvenir as is my wont. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=221 Anyone who's been reading my blog all week knows you ain't getting a critical review of last night's show by From the Jam. These guys brought home the goods Saturday night to a >>>thiscloseto http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=220 Last night, my wife and I went to see From The Jam at the Blender Theatre at Gramercy. This is two-thirds of The Jam, missing only Paul Weller. I last saw The Jam in 1982 at the Aragon in Chicago, and it was a transcendent experience: Paul Weller's guitar-playing was incandescent and inspiring, Bruce Foxton's bass exploded melodically, and the thunderous drumming of Rick Buckler almost caused my knees to buckle. Last night wasn't 1982, but it was still amazing and on occasion, I was 18 again. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=219 When I found out 2/3 of The Jam were on tour performing the legendary UK band�s classic songs, I was instantly excited. Although America never quite embraced them, there�s no denying that they wrote some really amazing songs. Over the time waiting up to last night�s show, my excitement settled and was replaced by the expectations that they�d be just another group of old musicians cashing in on their past without the same passion as their hey-day. I�ve seen enough old washed-up musicians to know that these reunion tours are usually a big disappointment, especially when a quintessential member is missing. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=218 AS THE RECORD INDUSTRY STRUGGLES to remain profitable in an age of digital distribution, many musicians are discovering that revisiting the past is the best way to remain relevant. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=217 LIVE: Hugh Cornwell And From The Jam Still Have What It Takes.I admit I was quite skeptical a year ago when I first reported about bassist Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler reforming The Jam without the mod-punk band's lead singer, guitarist and chief songwriter, Paul Weller, under the name From The Jam. So I approached their headlining show on Wednesday night with a mix of curiosity and trepidation, but was comforted that former Stranglers singer/guitarist Hugh Cornwell was opening so that even if From The Jam lived down to my lowest expectations, the evening still wouldn't be a write-off. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=216 As many of you are well aware, I wasn�t initially fond of the idea that Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler would forge ahead without Paul Weller and tour as From The Jam. A few heated exchanges with one of our UK readers, an interview with Bruce Foxton, and a lot of positive press later, I was more than ready to experience what sold out crowds across the pond have been raving about. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=215 Just got back from seeing 2/3 of the Jam perform as From The Jam. Back in 1991 I saw 1/3 of the Jam when Paul Weller came through Seattle. Based on a show-to-show comparison 2/3 is better than 1/3. Yeah, I know, I'm surprised too. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=214 I like my live music and being close to Vancouver where a lot of bands and artists stop off has allowed me to gig on a regular basis rather than the once or twice a year it had become when living in Kent. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=213 From the sell out gig at RICHARD�S ON RICHARDS � VANCOUVER.This is The Modern World, David Watts, Pretty Green & To Be Somebody. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=212 Now that they've got their show on the road, there should be some new product from From The Jam in the near future. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php **SOLD OUT CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT**FROM THE JAM AT RICHARD�S ON RICHARDS � VANCOUVER,ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND IS NOW SOLD OUT JACK FM PRESENTS FROM THE JAM WITH SPECIAL GUEST HUGH CORNWELL SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND 2008 RICHARD�S ON RICHARDS � VANCOUVER, BC Doors 7:00pm Show 7:30pm http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=210 Though the idea about a Weller-less Jam embarking on a world tour playing the songs that made them famous over 25 years ago may seem like a bad idea to some (out of hand, I was thinking along the lines of "dubious, at best", I'm quite happy to say that the From The Jam gig at the Aladdin on Wednesday night was indeed a great night out. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=209 There were a million things that could have been cheesy and sad and uncomfortable about Friday�s House of Blues show by Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler, now performing as From the Jam. Fortunately, almost none of them came to be. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=208 One of the most important and influential British bands of the late 70�s and early 80�s were The Jam. Between the release of their debut album In The City in 1977 to their last studio effort The Gift in 1982, The Jam scored 18 straight top 40 singles in the UK alone, including four number 1 hits. In the wake of the band�s demise, their musical legacy began to influence a new breed of up and coming young British rockers from Blur to Kaiser Chiefs, who continue to keep The Jam�s tradition of three-minute, hook-driven British guitar pop alive. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=207 Iconic 70�s British band �The Jam� never played in New Zealand! One of the most important and influential British bands of the late 70�s and early 80�s.... http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=206 Big news from the 70�s! The Jam is going on a Weller-less 13-city US tour under the name �From the Jam� starting January 24th. This may be the closest thing to a Jam reunion that fans are likely to see. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=205 But Paul Weller won't be joining themFounding members of The Jam, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler have announced details of a North American tour, kicking off January 24 in San Diego. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=204 From The Jam, featuring Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler of iconic U.K. group The Jam, has announced a run of North American dates.The band, which also includes Dave Moore and Russell Hastings, will embark on a 14-city tour January 24 at House of Blues in San Diego. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=202 Since the demise of the Jam and Paul Weller�s other projects took him away from that style of music I must have seen a dozen Jam 'Tribute� bands � some of them ok, some absolute crap but none generating the fervour or the sheer adrenaline rush that the original band did. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=200 Kingsley Harris, band promoter and curator of the East Anglia Music ArchiveCD of the Year - Locally it would have to be the Rory McVicar album simply called Rory McVicar. Overall, that's a difficult one but I'll plump for Seattle's coolest, Band Of Horses album Cease To Begin. Gig of the Year - I've seen a lot of great bands this year, but I really enjoyed From The Jam. I'm not trying to kid anyone, it was just a trip down memory lane but the atmosphere was electric. Low point - The Live Earth concert at Wembley. When are people going to realise that if we are going to save the planet it has to be done unconditionally. You won't get a thank you, a well done or a ticket to a concert. Although officially not a fundraiser The Intelligent Giving Foundation have been trying to track the money raised and to this day stand by their statement: �Nobody involved with the concerts seem to have any idea�.Tip for 2008 - Locally Violet Violet, The Brownies and The Monroes. Nationally I like the look of Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong amongst many others. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=197 On the heels of a string of U.K. dates, mod-worshipping Brit-punk legends The Jam are about to invade the U.S.�again. Maybe this time, they�ll have more success cozying up to American eardrums. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=196 Fresh from a wildly successful series of dates in the UK, founding members of The Jam, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler, join fellow musicians Dave Moore and Russell Hastings for a 13-city US tour in the New Year starting January 24th (dates below). These will be the first live shows in the US since the original Jam disbanded. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=192 UK tour in November and December after a sell-out come-back tour in May. The full line-up for From The Jam is: Bruce Foxton, Rick Buckler, Russell Hastings and David Moore. The band will perform all the Jam'sgreatest hits. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=191 WITH a sell-out tour already behind them and another, larger jaunt around the country this month, it's almost like Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler have never been away. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=190 NEVER go back, they always say, but sometimes it just feels right. That seems to be the attitude of Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler, two thirds of the original legendary mod-punks The Jam, who are out and about on a 22-date tour of the UK. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=189 After waiting 25 years for Saturday night I departed for Sheffield with some trepidationAnd a bit nervous!! Would the �Jam Sound� be the same as I remember, would the unique atmosphere and intensity of a Jam gig be the same. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=188 Strange Town & Running On The Spot.Not the best quality but fun all the same, Running On The Spot is one of my faves thanks richobandit. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=187 Down In The Tubestation, Start, Ghosts & This is The Modern World.Looks like a fantastic night, thanks CHINNERS http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=186 To Be Someone & When You're Young.Great Vidio and audio on these clips, thanks Gary. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=184 35 years ago, a band sprang out of Surrey called the Jam, fronted by Paul Weller on lead vocals and guitar with Bruce Foxton on bass and Rick Buckler on Drums. After 17 years of success, the three disbanded and went off their own ways after disagreements and side projects. Years later, Buckler formed a band called The Gift which would play Jam material, which Foxton would sometimes appear playing bass on live shows. This year, the two decided on recording some songs and touring the UK under the name �From the Jam� on which they would be accompanied by fellow Gift members David Moore (playing Bass and Keyboards) and Russell Hastings (filling Weller�s place on guitar and lead vocals). And so on the cold Tuesday night of December 4th, Nottingham was fortunate to be one of the tour destinations. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=183 That's Entertainment & Eton Rifles.Top night,I was there thanks fromthejam112 :cheesy: http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=182 David Watts & In The Crowd.Great Video and audio as ever thanks Tiiimmm. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=181 Butterfly Collector, Start, Going Underground pt 1, Going Underground pt 1 & Down in the Tubestation.Quantity and Quality you don't get that very often cheers leskei http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=179 For anyone who witnessed From The Jam's triumphant performance at the Rescue Rooms in May, last night came with dangerously high expectations. Could original members Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler, along with vocalist Russell Hastings and second guitarist Dave Moore, rekindle the magic once again, or was that springtime gig a unrepeatable fluke. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=176 HAVING successfully bridged the transition of punk to New Wave, breaking a number of records along the way, The Jam were prematurely put to bed by Paul Weller after 18 consecutive Top 20 singles. That was 25 years ago. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=175 From The Jam have chosen to back the fire services� charity, by offering once-in-a-lifetime tickets for a forthcoming show. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=174 Picture the scene..a wide eyed 14 year old and his mates, high on nothing more than adrenaline and the anticipation of their first live gig experience. We've sat in our bedrooms and played the singles, In The City and Modern World albums to death, analysed every inch of the vinyl and sleeves. We've read the spiral groove messages over and over imagining some deep mystical meaning and pawed and poured over the lyric sheets and NME/Sounds interviews...recognising that we've found a band that gives a voice to our teenage anxieties and frustarations who play with the passion and intensity that screams 'we mean it maaan!' but without the destructive nihilism. Flashback to '76 and the London-centric punk explosion is catapulted into our living rooms via the infamous Bill Grundy interview. The following day the Daily Mirror banner headline 'the filth and the fury' surplants the burgeoning youth sub-culture into the British public consciousness. The rollercoaster ride begins. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=173 Good Quality Video and Audion.Start - In The City - Little Boy Soldiers - Modern World - The Gift.tiiimmm your a star http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=172 From The Jam� featuring Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler, two thirds of the original line-up of The Jam, have announced a major 21-date UK tour in November and December 2007. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=171 From The Jam - The Carling Academy Oxford A Bomb In Wardour Street 22/11/07 Cracking little vid thanks Wattsie http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=170 This is The Modern World.Fantastic montage of what looked like a great night thanks Liffonmelsmork. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=169 Paul Weller may have cut all communications with former Jam bandmates, Rick Buckler and Bruce Foxton, the day the band split back in 1982, but that hasn't stopped the two other members picking up the pieces some 25 years later to hit the road for a Jam revival tour that has been welcomed with open arms by fans of the seminal Brit band."I was playing with my band The Gift, and Bruce was on the same bill in a different band and each night we'd get together on stage to do a few Jam songs, just for fun," explains Rick. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=168 FROM the Jam return to Cardiff this week, having found themselves a much bigger home than their last gig here. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=166 From The Jam The Village, DublinFEATURING the two least interesting members of Paul Weller's legendary post-punk trio (plus some hired help), From The Jam could very easily have been a tragic joke. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=165 Thats Entertainment, This is The Modern World, Town Called Malaice and Going Underground.Four of the best from four of the best thanksrandomkac3 http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=164 Four nicely-attired gentlemen from the United Kingdom were kind enough to perform a dignified recital of their repertoire to a quiet and respectful audience last night.

Going for the more populist vote is The Jam Unseen, a rare, insider's view of the mod-revival band on stage and off, taken by their tour snapper Neil 'Twink' Tinning. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=145 At the press night on the 3/10/07 original Jam members, Bruce Foxton (bass, vocals) and Rick Buckler (drums) attended the private view / press night, alongside new members Russell Hastings and Dave Moore.

For two years Twink documented life with The Jam on the road, live on stage and behind-the-scenes leading up until their farewell concert in 1982 at the Brighton Centre. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=87 WHEN Paul Weller suddenly pulled the plug on one of the nation�s favourite bands, The Jam�s drummer Rick Buckler might have fallen apart. But he didn�t. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=86 From The Jam have added new dates to thier winter tour, Madrid, Barcelona and Granada in Spain and Dublin and Belfast in Ireland. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=85 Grape vineBelfast duo Oppenheimer are to thank their local fans for their ongoing support with a double date at Spring and Airbrake on Saturday, September 22. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=84 I had the grand pleasure of participating in a late night phone call with Bruce Foxton last night. Bruce is, of course, best known as bass player for The Jam as well as Stiff Little Fingers & Casbah Club. He�s recently completed a successful tour with Rick Buckler in a Weller-less �From The Jam�. The tour quickly sold out all 20 dates so FTJ have just announced an additional 21 UK dates for November/December. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=83 Twenty-five years ago, Paul Weller pulled the plug on one of the most successful groups to have emerged from the punk and new wave era. The Jam were riding high following the huge success of their fifth album The Gift, but Weller felt he had taken the band as far as he could, and in December 1982 at the Brighton Centre they played their last ever gig. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=82 The Who singer Roger Daltrey is among the artists who have spoken out against the UK government's decision not to extend music copyright laws. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=81 A rare never-before-seen collection of limited edition photographic prints of Britain's best loved band "The Jam" Saturday 6th October until Saturday 20th October http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=80 At a time when a stream of veteran rock stars are touring - from the Police to Debbie Harry and, of course, the Spice Girls - there is still one band for whom the chances of any sort of full-scale reunion look slim: the Jam.Thirty years ago, Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler were signed to Polydor Records and set out on the path to fame, but they have not played together since December 1982. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=79 Dave Moore's DiaryOxford..White Shoes,The Independant, Crowley Cambridge..NOBBY behind bars!

So we went not knowing what to expect 25 years on. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=65 Only heard the boys were playing on thursday night. I was a bit worried about seeing this gig without you know who playing,but I have to say it was fantasic. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=64 Spreading the punk sound since the 70s, The Jam list their all-time top 10 tracks http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=63 I've been to some gigs over the years however tonight blew me away.

Question : How do you improve on perfection? http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=57 I've been to some gigs over the years however tonight blew me away.

I'll be honest, I feared the worst. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=50 53 Degrees - Preston 13th May 07 That was my first,but definitely not last "From The Jam" experience last might in a rain-sodden Preston. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=49 David Watts.When You're Young.Going Under Ground.Tube Station.Good Audio.Thanks Very Much Gary Davis. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=48 IMAGINE watching The Jam without Paul Weller. It's a bit like eating a jam sandwich without the... well, you know. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=47 The electric charge in the atmosphere left fans wondering if the Modfather himself was going to put in an appearance. Alas, no such thing. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=46 Well without wanting to sound repetitive, once again from The Jam rocked the place.I took my lad (15), it was his first gig ever. Even though he�s been force fed this music all his life I had the feeling that he could take it or leave it. He�s been learning the guitar since Christmas and he�s opting for a �heavier� sound. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=45 This could have been dreadful. How could Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler relive their former glories without Paul Weller, The Jam's chief creative force? http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=44 Wow.Probably the only word to describe From The Jam's performance at Nottinghams Rescue Rooms on 9th May. I don't think this great little venue has ever seen a show like this. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=43 Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler from 'The Jam' touch down here in Galway on 3 June for their first official tour in 25 years. Ben Coombs caught up with drummer Rick Buckler http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=42 Went to see From The Jam at The Lemon Tree in Aberdeen on 6 May 2007.I had been told the tickets were sold out so I knew it would be busy. I thought I�d be disappointed that Paul Weller would not be there, how wrong could I be! http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=41 From the Jam ****Liquid Room FOR a lot of people, Paul Weller was The Jam. That's a big pity, because those people probably didn't bother to go to the Liquid Room last night, in which case they missed a real event. Two thirds of The Jam - bassist, Bruce Foxton and drummer, Rick Buckler - reunited with their most important members: the audience. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=40 Although not wide known this side of the Atlantic, the Jam bridges the gap in English music from the Beatles to Oasis. Paul Weller, the band's chief songwriter and voice, abruptly split the band in 1982 when the band was enjoying its most commercial success. Weller then started the ill-received 'The Style Council' which scored only a fraction of the adoring audience he had while in the Jam. Weller went on to great solo success in the 1990's and into this decade, and has always shunned a talk of a comeback. The other two members, not waiting anymore on the 'modfather', decided to go it alone and the comeback of the highly influential three piece was together again tonight (sans Weller). http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=39 IF there's one thing guaranteed to get Rick Buckler's tail up, it's calling his reformed band a tribute act. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=38 Bruce Foxton features in the May/June issue of Bass Guitar Magazine. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=37 This video is the final song of the encore.Watch the audience they seem to be having fun !!!!! http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=36 For the 500 or so men and women packed into Oxford's Zodiac, this was a VERY special occasion. Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler's first UK tour together in 25 years. Russell Hastings (Vocals/Guitar) told us, during the sound check, that he expected to see grown men cry and he wasn't mistaken. I just hadn't intended to be one of them, but as Buckler, Foxton, Hastings and Dave Moore strolled onto the stage, I was overcome. I just couldn't help myself. This was going to be an emotional evening... http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=35 That's Entertainment http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=34 In The City, The Modern World and To Be Someone. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=33 Thick As Thieves & News Of The World http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=32 Tube Station from the encore The Zodiac Oxford. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=31 Tube Station & Going Underground. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=30 From The Jam, Modrapheniacs 2007 http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=29 From The Jam, Modrapheniacs 2007. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=28 The Gift + Bruce Foxton. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=24 Phew didn't think they could top the opening night but somehow they managed it. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=23 WHEN The Jam split up in 1982, the short career which had created some of the most urgent and generation defining music of the era was frozen in time. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=22 Two-thirds of the original line-up of The Jam have reformed for the first time in 25 years and the Kia Sedona is helping them spread across the country. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=21 In a word, you better believe it what an awesome night (I knew I wouldn�t manage it in one). http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=20 They looked good, they sounded fantastic and the crowd were brilliant. (All 500 of them). http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=19 Between 1979 and 1982, The Jam were second only to The Police in the affections of the great British public. http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=17 BBC http://www.brucefoxton.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=15 After being absent from the public eye for over a decade, Rick Buckler is back where he rightfully belongs.
