An annual pilgrimage to the past, with the stars of ‘yesteryear’ bringing back great memories with their music – hits & giggles.

This year’s headliners, the much maligned but mighty ‘Quo’, provided a masterclass in rock; owning the arena and exiting on a luxury tour bus before the applause had died-down down (deeper and down).

Being a massive fan of The Jam, since the 80s mod revival, I had reservations about seeing ‘Foxton & Co.’ performing such sacred songs live. Such fears were instantly alleviated, as From The Jam proved themselves to be so much more than a tribute band.

Bruce Foxton looked as sharp as ever, living up to his legendary mod status just as much as Paul Weller does. Russell Hastings pays respect to The Jam’s repertoire, performing well known and much loved songs with his own vocal style – never attempting to impersonate Weller.

Face facts; it’s unlikely there’ll ever be a reunion of The Jam. If you want to see their songs performed live with power and passion, From the Jam are one of the best options.
