From The
Jam, featuring former The Jam bassist Bruce Foxton and Russell Hastings, bring
their acoustic tour to the Tivoli in Buckley on Friday, March 28.
Bruce
and Russell will be performing a selection of songs from The Jam’s extensive
back catalogue as well as material from Bruce’s new album Back In The Room as
well as handing over the microphone to the audience for a question and answer
session.
With a
catalogue that includes 18 UK top 40 singles The Jam were the sound of the
British youth in the late 70s and this intimate show is a rare opportunity to
hear those songs in this stripped down way.
“We
played some acoustic shows earlier this year and it was a revelation how well
the songs work acoustically” said Bruce.
“It’s a
testament to a good song that they have stood the test of time and don’t need a
full band and big production in order to work so well.”
Audiences
can expect to hear classics such as Down In The Tube Station At Midnight, Going
Underground, Town Called Malice and The Modern World as well as favourites
including Strange Town, When You’re Young and Start.
Bruce
and Russell will also perform songs from Back In The Room which was released in
2012 to great acclaim.
“The
reaction to the acoustic shows has been great, people really get into the songs
and the Q&A brings the audience and us together for the evening which is so
special,” added Russell.
The Jam
exploded on to 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.
The Jam
became the sound of British youth and one of the greatest and biggest selling
bands in British history.
In 2000,
Q magazine placed All Mod Cons at Number 50 in its list of the 100 Greatest
British Albums Ever.
From The
Jam have gained a reputation for the kind of incendiary ‘live’ performances
that sealed the reputation of The Jam all those years ago.
