From The Jam – ‘Live’.
Saturday 20th November.
2010 marks the 30th Anniversary of the release of ‘Sound Affects’ by The Jam.
It also marks the first single release by From The Jam, ‘Later Day’ - available for Download via Angel Air on 4th October.
Recently reconciled following family bereavements, From The Jam’s Bruce Foxton and Paul Weller have been working together on the sleeve notes for the release. Paul is also about to release ‘Fast Car/Slow Traffic’ from his most recent album, featuring Bruce on bass There were also incredible scenes when Bruce recently appeared ‘live’ alongside Paul - for the first time in 28 years – to perform The Jam classics ‘The Eton Rifles’ and ‘The Butterfly Collector’ as well as ‘Fast Car/Slow Traffic’ at the second of Weller’s five night residency at the Albert Hall.
From The Jam gained an immediate reputation for the kind of incendiary ‘live’ performances that sealed the reputation of The Jam all those years ago and 2010 has been another very busy year for the band Drummer Rick Buckler left FTJ in 2009, but Bruce was quick to acknowledge the bands’ debt to Rick: “Both Russ and myself are sorry that Rick has decided to leave. I want to personally thank him for the very special time we shared both on and off stage. FTJ will continue onwards”
The band will now include a Special Guest, founder member of BIG COUNTRY, MARK BRZEZICKI in place of Rick.
This line-up has already gained some terrific ‘live’ reviews – “Brzezicki, Foxton and Hastings took things to new heights…” (Dundee Courier) The Jam had amazing chart success with 18 singles and 7 albums to make the top 40 in the United Kingdom from their debut in 1977 to their break up in 1982. Their last 5 albums were all top ten hits and their last 8 singles made it into the top 10.’ Just Who Is the 5 OClock Hero?’ made the charts at no 8 as an import and remains the best-selling import singles of all time in the UK.
