From The Jam's UK Winter tour starts Friday 5th December in at Norwich's UEA and ends at London's legendary Hammersmith Apollo on Monday 22nd December.
The December tour follows recent sold-out shows in Australia, Canada and the USA, the band have now enjoyed worldwide success with their incredibly energetic and hit-packed live shows - the Washington Post exulted that "those Jam cuts retained all their sleek, muscular power." The much anticipated return to the UK in December allows the band to build on their phenomenal touring success here in 2007 when Bruce and Rick first reconnected and reunited with their loyal fan base.
A totally sold-out and rapturously-received From The Jam show was recorded in December 2007 at London's Kentish Town Forum and will be released as the 'A First Class Return' From The Jam, DVD on 10th November 2008 through Invisible Hands Music. This release captures the truly electric celebratory atmosphere, the band's pervasive love of the songs plus the incredible crowd participation and feedback.
From The Jam perform all of the band's greatest hits and classic album tracks including Start, Going Underground, That's Entertainment and other Jam originals written by Bruce Foxton including News of The World and Smithers-Jones. New material is currently being co-written with new band members Russell Hastings (lead vocal/guitar) and Dave Moore (guitar/keyboards). "The fans worldwide have proven to us that they still feel as passionate about the music of The Jam as we do," says original bassist Bruce Foxton, "We are genuinely overwhelmed by the support and interest in the band."
