From The Jam

Saturday’s Kids’ from the 70s and 80s had a jam-packed treat in store at the Cambridge Corn Exchange when From the Jam made a welcome return to the iconic venue.

FROM THE JAM and BUZZCOCKS get down with the kids for night of new wave revelry

For some of us who went to see From The Jam perform at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge on Saturday, it was our first indoor concert after the lifting of the pandemic restrictions – and what a great ‘Start!’ to the return of live music! (forgive the pun)

From the Jam refuse to refer to themselves as a tribute band, and nor should they; their live shows of such a high standard that to call them a mere covers band would be an insult to both them and the music itself.

The band have been around since 2007 with Bruce Foxton at the helm and he’s more than ably assisted by Russell Hastings on vocals and the outstanding Steve Smiley Barnard on drums.

It appears that this as near as we’ll get to a reunion of The Jam with Weller not being interested and having some less than favourable things to say about Foxton and Butler’s efforts.
