FROM the Jam, featuring former The Jam bassist Bruce Foxton, legendary vocalist & guitarist Russell Hastings and drummer Mike Randon, are celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Jam’s debut album ‘In The City’ with a special series of shows. The band will be performing a selection of songs from the album as well The Jam’s greatest hits.

Bruce Foxton said: “I can’t believe it’s 40 years since we were first signed to Polydor. It’s a testament to the strength of the songs and of course the fans that we are able to continue touring with the intensity that we do!”

The Jam exploded onto the punk scene in 1977 delivering their ferocious mission statement - debut single ‘In The City’ – and in 1978 released their third album ‘All Mod Cons’.

Foxton added: “I’m looking forward to playing some of the songs live that we originally never did get round to playing all those years ago.”

Bruce Foxton’s new album ‘Smash The Clock’, released in May 2016 was co-written with From The Jam band mate Russell Hastings and featured guest appearances from Paul Weller, Wilko Johnson and Paul Jones.

The album debuted in the UK Top 40 chart and was recorded at Paul Weller’s Black Barn studios.

They will play the Brewery on April 29.
