From The Jam

A tribute to The Jam, the British band formed in Woking in 1972, performed under the name From The Jam at The Fleece in Bristol. The evening is built around the songs of the original group.

From The Jam takes its name from The Jam, the mod-inspired rock trio formed in Woking in 1972 and active until 1982. Its core members were Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler, and its best-known songs include "In the City", "Going Underground", "The Eton Rifles" and "A Town Called Malice". This act is a tribute to that band, not the original group.

The music is pop, rock and indie, drawing on the 1960s British pop and soul influences that ran through The Jam's records. The programme follows the catalogue of the original band, so the night centres on the songs that made The Jam's name.

The Fleece is a venue in Bristol that hosts concerts and shows. The evening suits listeners who know The Jam's records and anyone interested in the British mod and rock music of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
