Bruce Foxton

A concert by Bruce Foxton, bass guitarist and songwriter with The Jam, marking fifty years of the band, staged at The Cavern in Liverpool.

Bruce Foxton has been active as a musician since 1972 and released the album Touch Sensitive in 1984 on Arista Records. Foxton played bass on every recording The Jam made. The group released its debut single, In the City, in 1977 on Polydor Records, and over the following five years had a run of number one singles, including Start!, Going Underground, Town Called Malice and Beat Surrender.

Foxton also sang lead and wrote songs for the band, among them News of the World, which is the theme tune of the BBC television programme Mock the Week, as well as Smithers-Jones and Carnaby Street. The show celebrates fifty years of The Jam and features Foxton with a band made up of Mark Brzezicki, formerly of Big Country, Andrew Fairclough of Secret Affair and Craig Joiner of Romeo's Daughter, together with very special guests.

The concert takes place at The Cavern, a venue in Liverpool that hosts concerts and shows. It is presented by AGMP Concerts and suits listeners interested in the music of The Jam and the songs that Foxton wrote and performed with the group.
