Music:Member Since: 12/15/2005Band Website: fromthejam.net/index.htm Band Members: Bruce Foxton - Bass/Vocals Rick Buckler - Drums Russell Hastings - Vocals/Guitar Dave Moore - Guitar/Keyboards (c) John Walker BRUCE FOXTON is a part of the English Rock and Roll establishment. A musician (born 1/9/1955 Woking,Surrey) who is most commonly recognised as the bass player in legendary bands The Jam and Stiff Little Fingers. In The Jam, he and drummer Rick Buckler were the driving force, power and rhythm section behind singer, guitarist, and songwriter Paul Weller. Bruces versatility is evident, taking lead vocals on "David Watts" (The Kinks) and "News Of The World", which was one from his catalogue of own compositions. Foxtons most notable work being "Smithers-Jones", done with bass/guitar/drums for the B-side of "When You're Young" and later reworked with strings for the Setting Sons LP. After The Jam split in '82, Foxton pursued a solo career. He had a hit with the single "Freak" and collaborated with other musicians, until he got the call from Stiff Little Fingers' Jake Burns,staying with with SLF for fifteen years, recording four albums, namely, Flags and Emblems, Get a Life, Tinderbox, and Guitar and Drum. In 1994, Rick and Bruce collaborated on Our Story, a biography of their eventful and cherished years in The Jam.Bruce toured with Bruce Watson, Mark Brzezicki (Big Country) and Simon Townshend (The Who) in 2006 as The Casbah Club supporting The Who in the U.K and Europe promoting their new album "Venustraphobia." Bruce is now touring again with his old soulmate, Rick Buckler. (c) John Walker RICK BUCKLER (born Paul Richard Buckler, 6 December 1955, in Woking, Surrey, England), was the drummer and founding member of The Jam, a band forever live in Rock and Roll history,that reigned from 1977 until disbanding in 1982. The drums and bass guitar of Rick and Bruce were an integral part of the Jam's sound and success. The Jam split with Paul Weller choosing to leave the band in 1982. In 1983, Buckler joined 'Time UK', featuring himself, Jimmy Edwards and Ray Simone, both formally of 'MasterSwitch', as well as Danny Kustow from the Tom Robinson Band and Nick South of both the Yoko Ono Band and Steve Marriot's All Stars. Time UK sold nearly 60,000 copies of their first single, "The Cabaret". Buckler was reunited with ex Jam bassist and Time UK's Jimmy Edwards as 'Sharp', who recorded some songs for the Unicorn record label. These rare recordings have subsequently been re-issued on a Time UK anthology. After Time UK's demise, Rick left the music business and indulged his passion in carpentry/cabinet making.This was well documented and publicised on Granada TV's "After They Were Famous." (c) John Walker RUSSELL HASTINGS (born 6th July 1965,Sussex England) has been working with Rick Buckler since November 2005. A musician/vocalist in his own right Russell has shocked audiences nationwide this year with his authentic and passionate interpretation in performance (vocals and guitar) of The Jam's back catalogue. Russell grew up on The Jam and this is evident in his attention to every detail, from the Rickenbacker to the Marshall 4x4 everything as it was and should be. Energy,pride,execution and dynamic delivery have created an anticipation for 2007 as he collaborates with Bruce and Rick on their reformation. (c) John Walker DAVID MOORE (born 10th Sept 1963,Carlow, Eire) is a versatile multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who will play guitar and keyboards for Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler 2007. Davids prior collaborations include work with musicians and live acts from the world of folk,to punk,rock and blues. Dave grew up with The Jam and cites Weller,Strummer and Pete Townshend as key influences. Daves flexibility and passion as a musician compliments the "trio dynamic" that was The Jam adding the "hammond" and second guitar creating a new "fuller and fresh" sound for 2007.
