On this episode of The Paul Weller Fan Podcast, I’m joined by
author, Richard Houghton - one of the people
behind the book - The Jam - The Day I Was There.

With a foreword written by Jam drummer Rick
Buckler, this book tells the story of The Jam in the
words of over 300 fans. With memories from the earliest shows at
clubs and pubs around Woking and London, UK and North American
tours through to their last ever gig in Brighton in December
1982.

Told by the perspective of fans, promoters, studio engineers,
photographers and support acts the book includes personal
photographs, memorabilia, anecdotes and stories that have never
been published before.

Richard has previously created books the Rolling Stones, The
Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix (all
of which are compilations of fan memories of seeing these
legendary artists live). He has also co-written a book about the
semi legendary indie band The Wedding Present with lead singer
David Gedge and worked with Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark on
their book, Pretending To See The Future.

You can buy the book, co-written with Neil Cossar (the fella
behind the award winning web site and publisher - This Day in
Music) here...

In 2023, Richard will be publishing books on the Faces, Slade,
The Beatles, The Who and Pink Floyd... Find out more at
