---------------------
Formed in 1972 at Sheerwater Secondary School in Woking, Surrey, The Jam kept the tradition of three-minute, hook-driven British guitar pop alive providing a blueprint for generations of bands to come. Active during the late 1970s and early 1980s, the powerhouse three piece comprised of singer, guitarist Paul Weller and drummer Rick Buckler and later bassist Bruce Foxton. The Jam had 18 consecutive UK Top 40 singles from their debut in 1977 to their break-up in December 1982, including four number 1 hits. They released six studio albums and one live album. When the group split up, their first 15 singles were re-released, and all placed within the top 100 on the UK charts. The band drew upon a variety of stylistic influences over the course of their career, including 1960s beat music, soul, rhythm and blues and psychedelic rock, as well as 1970s punk and new wave. The trio was known for its melodic pop songs, its distinctly English flavour, and its mod image.
The Jam has become a massive part of British music culture - 1982 was the end of an era, but the start of an enduring legacy with The Jam!
There will be a book and memorabilia signing at the end of the show.
The evening also features a spoken word performance by Mark Le Gallez.
Doors 7pm | Show from 8pm (this is an all ages event, U14s to be accompanied by an adult)
